## Resource

Two Republican candidates for statewide office in Massachusetts have been disqualified from the September primary after thousands of their petition signatures were deemed invalid — some even suspected fraudulent — leaving the GOP with just three active candidates for six offices, all currently held by Democrats. The fallout has reshaped the race for lieutenant governor, clearing the field for Shawn Oliver, while exposing deep concerns about the integrity of the nomination process.
