Quote of the Day

“Many people look at the possibility of a successful primary challenge and quit before they’ve even started,” said John Cluverius. “The incumbency advantage is real across the country, but the ability to deny voters even the chance to vote against them is much, much higher in Massachusetts.”
John Cluverius, an associate professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts Lowell
Massachusetts held a primary election where, as in many past years, the action was hard to find. The lack of choice at the ballot box is what Cluverius described as the “most concerning” factor in Massachusetts politics.
