Shameful. The proposal brought to the board did not incorporate any input taken during the public comment period.

If @BillGalvin4MA hadn’t BLOCKED a lawsuit in 2017 challenging the state’s requirement that eligible voters register 20 days before an election, we would have same-day voter registration today. His reason? “Paperwork.” This moment demands so much more #mapoli #democracy

Yes! Go help @CommonWealthMag continue to save #mapoli from narrative-driven politics and policy coverage. I enjoy the regular thrills and befuddlement* I get from them.

(* I sometimes think, “what the heck is that?” when they write about some policy thing I’ve never heard of.)
