Voting In Massachusetts

Louis Said:

If Democrats lose in Massachusetts tonight are they voting against Obama-care for corporate profits?

We Answered:

Since when did voting to elect a person to make decisions become a referendum vote?

Oh, right, when GWB claimed that his re-election was a referendum which supported everything he did during his first term.

Now lets all stop and think for a minute about why it's an idiotic idea to vote for a single issue instead of voting for a candidate's personal philosophy, trustworthiness, and track record.

Beatrice Said:

massachusetts voting rules?

We Answered:

In MA, you can register "Unenrolled". If you are unenrolled, you can choose which ballot to take at the primary. (Which is today.) Choosing that ballot doesn't change your status, you are still unenrolled. But you only get one ballot, no matter what it is. Half the voters in MA are registered as unenrolled.

In today's primary, the Democratic Ballot has more choices on it than the Republican Ballot, which only has one choice: auditor. (By this I mean that only one office has more than one candidate.) There are no other ballots this year.

Judith Said:

Will someone in Massachusetts vote for Brown for me by proxy?

We Answered:

No worry here. I am in Massachusetts and don't know any one voting for Martha. The "entitlement" attitude has not worked for her. She assumed that as a Democrat/hack she would simply be handed Uncle Teddy's senate seat. Surprise! Not everyone in Massachusetts buys it.

The Kennedy "legacy" is history. Martha will simply put a period on it.

Senator Brown will be a nice change in DC. (Wonder what Kerry is thinking?)

Steve Said:

Why has Massachusetts voted everything democrat in the midterm elections?

We Answered:

Mass was always a Blue State that's why. Scott Brown may have a R after his name but he is much more his own man that's why the Tea Party put a target on his back

Jeremy Said:

Who Can Vote in Massachusetts Presidential Primary?

We Answered:

If you are a registered voter and your political party designation is "unaffiliated," then on election day you may choose whichever party ballot you wish to vote on (i.e., Republican or Democrat). For the presidential primary, I believe you must then swich your designation back to "unaffiliated" after you vote, which you can do at the polling place when you check out. I believe if you don't do this then you will now be a member of the party you just voted.

Also, remember there is an "independant" party now, I believe you must be "unaffiliated" to be able to pick your ballot, not "independant."

Carole Said:

Is it possible that the voters in Massachusetts were voting more for political reasons within their state?

We Answered:

Sounds like you weren't following the race.

He regularly said he would be the 41st vote against Obamacare.

Listen to his acceptance speech, he went over all that, tax cuts, trying war criminals in our justice system etc.

He ran on national issues.

A Senator is national office, they vote on national issues.
