J.D. Davis of Locust Hill was hired as a voting machine custodian assistant by the Middlesex County Electoral Board on December 13, 1990, and is retiring after the November 5 election following 27 years of service.
Davis is now the main custodian of the county’s voting machines and his title is machine custodian. “It’s a little bit like being a Maytag repair man,” said Davis jokingly. “When people are voting I sit around waiting for the phone to ring, and when it does, I am on the move.”
