CORRECTION
In the May 22 issue, the article on the Third Suffolk primary states that Susan Passoni had a higher number votes than Aaron Michlewitz in Chinatown. This conclusion was based on the total sum of votes collected at Ward 5, Precinct 1 and Ward 3, Precint 5. James Chan from Boston City Councilor Bill Linehan’s Office, in his letter to the editor, points that Precinct 5-1 is the South End, not Chinatown; therefore, Aaron Michlewitz had not lost Chinatown.
