‼️ @ultraviolet.bsky.social endorses Question 3 for Massachusetts! Why? Despite making up half of the population, only 33% of the state legislature are women. Massachusetts deserves better. Under Q3, first-time women and POC candidates are less likely to be blocked by low turnout primaries.

Mass. mayoral elections use all-party primaries. So what do mayors think of Question 3?

Quickest version: single-party primaries create negative incentives for incumbents and lead to fewer competitive elections. There are a lot of things we should do to improve these problems, including RCV, but APPs are one of the tools. Some of the research is addressed here: yeson3ma.org

It's a pro-democracy measure. It is an improvement for many reasons, including making more races competitive, giving more voters a say in their representation, and making lower funded candidates more likely to win (contrary to your taking points).
