Thank you @PramilaJayapal for this warning from Washington State.
Massachusetts must REJECT Question 3 and the private equity billionaires funding it.
Private equity execs are trying to rig MA elections in their favor as a part of a pro-Wall Street national political project.
Don't let them.
Vote NO on 3.

Who is bankrolling Question 5?
A dark money group of CEOs still mad about Fair Share, and Question 5 is their attempt to undermine Fair Share and prevent the state from protecting our residents from Trump’s Big Ugly health care cuts.
Our Outreach & Ops Director Melanie O'Malley is a big fan of all things Halloween & spooky, and so is her kindergartener. But do you know what is too much for both of them? Stories where adults fail to stand up and protect children.
Vote YES on 9 to protect our gun safety laws.

"If you hear a side promoting their plan to improve democracy and they hide behind dark money, hold onto your wallet."

Under top-two primaries, parties can get locked out of a general election because of having too many candidates.
You’ll never believe how absurd the solution from Question 3’s backers is.
Vote no on 3.

Massachusetts, let’s tell the billionaires funding Question 3 that our elections are NOT FOR SALE. Vote NO on 3 on November 3rd.
"If its proponents’ objectives include empowering marginalized voices and minor parties, then increasing the costs while reducing the time to organize and campaign seems particularly unwise."

"....Look at what the top-two system has produced in California and Washington: vote-splitting lockouts, perverse incentives to game the primary, and pressure on candidates without big money to drop out."

The nine questions on our ballot in Massachusetts could dramatically change our Commonwealth. Here's where I stand on each of them.
MA will be on such a list in the future if Question 4 passes. Vote YES on 4.

.@ProgressiveMass recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of its founding conference, and I was so happy that we were able to get Harmony Wu to write this retrospective.

The @BayStateBanner, Boston's Black newspaper of record, just endorsed NO on Question 3.
They see through the false promises of this dangerous ballot question and know it would do NOTHING to make our government more representative of the people.
Vote No On 3!!

"In many ways, the proposal in Question 3 is a misleading solution that has gone searching for pretexts that voters might find compelling."

Question 3 is a power grab, plain and simple. It is a billionaire, private equity-backed scheme to rig our elections, to tilt the playing field, and make it harder for working-class people to run for office and to win.
And I want to be clear about who stands to lose if this harmful ballot measure is passed next month.
It is the single mom working two jobs who wants to fight for affordable housing in the State House.
It is the union organizer who has spent a lifetime fighting for workers' rights and wants to bring that fight to Congress.
It is the community advocate who knows what it means when your neighborhood is overlooked, your school is underfunded, your family is struggling to make ends meet, and wants to do something about it.
It's the first-time candidate who doesn't have a rolodex of wealthy donors or millions of dollars to spend on television ads.
Question 3 would stack the deck against those people and hand even more power to those who already have too much of it.
If we're serious about reforming elections, we should pass Ranked Choice Voting. We should lower the voting age. And we should vote YES on Question 4 to make Election Day voter registration a reality in Massachusetts.
But Question 3 ain't it.
Massachusetts must Vote NO on Question 3 to stop billionaires from buying our elections and keep power in the hands of the people.
