Democrats stepped up their get-out-the-vote effort eight days in advance of a State Senate special electon.

    The political office of Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter, D-NH, sent an e-mail blast urging supporters to devote as much time and $$$ as they’re able to help elect Democrat Bud Martin of Sandwich in Senate Dist. 3 on April 21.

     Martin’s opponent, ex-Republican Congressman Jeb Bradley, lost elections to Shea-Porter in 2006 and last November.
