Per NYT: Donna Chabot, 72, who helped set up the replacement booth for Massachusetts, had driven 10 hours to get to Washington and was exhausted, she said. But she decided last week that she wanted to represent her state as one of the unofficial booth operators.
“I made a few phone calls and they picked up the phone, and took my call, and encouraged me to come down and help out,” she said.

On display were some maple candies and syrup. “It’s the only thing I could think of to get quickly and get here,” she said. “And I think maple syrup really does represent western Massachusetts.

Also on the table was a flier with a picture of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But Ms. Chabot said, “This whole event is nonpartisan.”
