State legislators have been drawing legislative districts that favor their party and disfavor the other party for centuries. But some math experts think they might be able to come up with formulas to take the unfairness out of the equation.
BOSTON — Mayor Martin J. Walsh is urging the public to avoid Boston Common on Saturday, where a controversial midday free speech rally will be held that is expected to draw massive amounts of counter-protesters.
Saturday's rally is slated to begin at 12 p.m., following a week's worth of concern over the potential for violence after a rally led last Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia, that was held primarily by white supremacists and white nationalists devolved into mayhem after the groups clashed with counter-protesters.
