Election Analyst Byron Fisher Writes that Massachusetts Top-Two Initiative Would Not Bring More Voter Choice

Byron Fisher has this op-ed, arguing that the Massachusetts top-two initiative, Question Three, would not give more choice to Massachusetts voters if it were to pass. The proponents’ main argument is that Massachusetts voters currently have too little choice. And it is true that the majority of Massachusetts U.S. House races always feature only one candidate on the general election ballot. Also most state legislative races also have only one candidate on the November ballot. But Question Three does not ease ballot access requirements.

Fisher is Chief of Staff for the Election Protection Project of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. His piece appears in NH Journal.

  1. Q3 would allow voters who have preferences for primary winners for different offices in different party primaries during the same election to express those preferences through votes.

    It’s entirely true that there are other problems it fails to fix, makes worse, or creates.

  2. NTB:

    THAT ONE COULD ACTUALLY BE A STORY TIP HERE IF RICHARD WINGER TREATED SOURCES IN AN UNBIASED WAY

  3. Richard Winger

    There is zero technical knowledge required.

    If you can log into wp-admin poke around settings and see discussion, enter n0tthebee.c0m but with os instead of zeroes under always allowed and it’s that simple.

  4. Cricfy directly above is an example of the kinds of links that regularly post here successfully and usually stay up, in addition to all the biased and tilted all in one direction sources AZ uses regularly, but not not not NOT THE BEE.

    How is that a good or fair policy?
