Massachusetts holds its primaries (for office other than President) in September. State Senator Becca Rausch (D-Needham) has introduced SB 591, to move them to the second Tuesday in June. Representative David Nangle (D-Lowell) has introduced HB 1281, to move them to early August.
NO primaries.

How would candidates be able to double dip on campaign contributions, without primaries?
Simply — get bribes [aka campaign donations] only before or after general elections
— and perhaps get some time in a slammer – aka jail.
