Backed by the Coalition for Healthy Democracy, the reform aims to boost competition and accountability, while critics — mostly Democrats — worried it violated election rights. The court sided with the Attorney General, calling the proposal constitutional and aligned with state interests. November’s ballot will decide whether Massachusetts embraces this bold shift in how elections are run. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
