Page 6 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2020 ASKS | FROM PAGE 4 from the Democrats and reject Biden, Markey and Moulton. Q: What do you sense the mood of the voters in Saugus is this year? Malone: I think they are in the mood for a change. I think the Biden election will bring a very signifi cant change. Harrington: I feel that President Trump has been under a relentless attack since the day after he won the election in 2016. This includes virtually all of the mainstream media, both in print and on television. All of his accomplishments have been downplayed or criticized, including his latest – a peace accord between Israel and several Middle East Arab nations. The media also downplays or fails to report things harmful to Biden, including the latest scandal involving his son, a Russian oil company and the former Vice President himself. In fairness, President Trump does not help himself with the timing and phrasing of some on his tweets. He is a tough man to love, but he was elected to do a tough job. I think of him as a fi ne surgeon with a lousy www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM bedside manner. I feel that the people of Saugus will look past the coarse exterior and realize that he has their best interests at heart. I feel that the strong economy will continue to grow and that people realize that the best social program is a good paying job with good benefi ts. President Trump is the man to continue to make this happen. Q: All in all, has mail-in voting been a great thing for the voters of Saugus and the rest of Massachusetts? Malone: Absolutely; anything that expands the turnout is a really great thing. We want more and more people voting. No question about that. We should have a big turnout out. We already have so far, and we still have several days of early voting left. Friday (Oct. 30) is the last day. Harrington: I am not a fan of early voting because late revelations can change the minds of voters. Q: How are you voting on the two ballot questions in Massachusetts? Malone: I’m voting “Yes” on WE'RE OPEN! 8 Norwood Street, Everett (617) 387-9810 STAY SAFE! Question 1. I want the small repair shops to repair my car. I want to pick the person who fi xes my car. I don’t think the big dealerships should have a monopoly. On Question 2, I’m voting “No.” I don’t think we need it in Massachusetts. It’s just going to cause some confusion. I think we’re in pretty good shape. Harrington: I support a “Yes” vote on question #1. It gives independent repair shops access to the information to reA BUSINESS CHECKING ACCOUNT THAT CHECKS ALL THE BOXES.

COM Member FDIC Member DIF pair your vehicle that dealerships only have access to in many cases. I feel that fears about personal data breaches are overblown. I am supporting a “No” vote on question # 2. I think that it is confusing to most voters and that the person who receives the most votes in an election, wins that election. Q: Anything else that you would like to share as you look toward Election Day? Malone: I think it will be a Democratic Party victory, and I think it will be good for the country. We will pick up six seats in the U.S. Senate. I think we’ll take Colorado, Arizona, Montana, Iowa and Maine and one of those seats in Georgia as well. And possibly North Carolina. We will maintain the majority in the House and will take the presidency. I think Joe Biden is a better candidate than the president. I think he will bring some good ideas to improve things in the country. He has a great running mate in Kamala Harris. It’s a good team and they will do a good job. And I think Joe Biden will do a better job in handling the virus. I think the Democrats will do a better job on health insurance. Harrington: I hope and pray for a vaccine and cure for COVID-19. In addition, I hope that fears about long-term side eff ects or permanent disabling consequences from it are just fears, rather than reality. I look forward to this election being over and a winner declared Tuesday evening. THIS WEEK ON SAUGUS TV Friday, October 30 at 9 p.m. on Channel 8 – “Friday Night Frights” (scary movies).
