BOSTON, MA — On the eve of the General Election, former Massachusetts governor and now Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate Bill Weld is returning to his old stomping grounds.

According to a Facebook event page, Weld will be housing a "YouIn" at Faneuil Hall, apparently a take on the "sit-ins" started during the civil rights movement. Per the event page:

You've heard of the Sit-In. #TeamGov is touring across the states hosting #YouIns . Come join Governor Bill Weld for a pre-election day rally in Boston's historic Faneuil HallLearn about Governor Weld and his success as a two-term Governor of Massachusetts.See why Gary Johnson and Bill Weld are rapidly gaining support as the sane choices for President and Vice-President. Join us and let's make history together. #YouIn ? In last week's Suffolk University-Boston Globe survey of likely voters, only 4.2 percent say they intend to vote for the Libertarian ticket in Massachusetts, compared to 57 percent who plan to cast their ballot for the Democrats' Hillary Clinton and 24.6 percent who lean toward Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Weld, of Canton, has been perhaps the most frequent Bay State visitor of any of the presidential campaigns since Super Tuesday. He appeared alongside Johnson for a Boston Common campaign rally in August, returned in September to speak to students at Emerson College, and made a second-to-last stop here last week, where he excoriated Trump before reporters in Boston.

A recent convert to Libertarianism, Weld has been increasingly less vocal in support of his running-mate, Johnson, while upping the ante against his previous party's chosen nominee. In his September visit to Boston, Weld was forced to defend Johnson's apparent inability to identify the war-torn Syrian city of Aleppo. In October, he indicated to The Boston Globe he is pivoting his strategy toward defeating Trump, rather than securing a third-party win. Weld, now in his 70s, was twice elected Massachusetts governor as a Republican in the early 1990s, and previously served as Massachusetts' U.S. District Attorney. He ran for Senate in 1996, but lost to incumbent Democrat John Kerry. A Harvard University graduate, Weld is originally from Smithtown, New York.
