Our latest newsletter features a Letter to the Editor by SHDTC friend Lee Harrison, originally published in the Berkshire Eagle and advocating against Ballot Question 3, which would move our state to a top-two vote-getter primary system--a move supported primarily by large corporate donors and wealthy individuals. Only two other states in the nation have fully implemented this primary system, and the results have often led to less rather than greater democracy in their elections.
The SHDTC
hasn't taken an official position on this question, but in a recent
survey of SHDTC members, 86.4% said they'd be voting no on this
question. A recent article posted by the group "Act on Mass" also has a related article on Question 3 that you might find of interest.
