Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin is expecting good turnout for the GOP and Democratic primaries and says independent voters can swing these…
More than 50,000 Bay Staters have already cast ballots in person, and more than 400,000 have voted by mail in advance of Super TuesdayThe U.S. Supreme Court ruling that restored former President Donald Trump's name to the Colorado ballot makes it"all the more important" for voters to express their opinions in presidential primaries, Massachusetts' elections chief said Monday.
"This morning's decision makes it all the more important that those voters who have opinions on the presidency take the opportunity to express them, because clearly what the court said today was that they will not do anything to decide the outcome of the presidential election. They've left it up to the voters and ultimately to Congress on the issue of the enforcement of the 14th Amendment," the Brighton Democrat told reporters.
"That could be a factor in tomorrow's voting," Galvin said. He added,"I had to assume eight years ago that when I saw Democrats going Republican that they were doing it for Trump, because he was the candidate with momentum eight years ago in the primary, and he was. I mean, clearly -- I guess the one common theme between 2016, 2020, and 2024 is Donald Trump. It's a factor. However you want to play it, or however you want to observe it.
Citing that clause, challenges to Trump's ballot access have been launched in multiple states. In Massachusetts, a challenge was dismissed by the Ballot Law Commission whose decision was upheld by Supreme Judicial Court Justice Frank Gaziano "They did not take the bench to issue it, they issued before 10 o'clock this morning -- so that all the voters who are voting tomorrow, and all the voters who are going to be voting over the next few months, know what the rules are, know what the impact of the 14th Amendment is, and know who's responsible to enforce it, which they say is the Congress, that's the majority," Galvin said.
