I believe there's a whole lot of us would be willing to help with this that may not have been comfortable going door to door about #NoOn1, #YesOn2, etc, and that we could make a difference.

Yesterday my 13 year-old son who has grown up in shooter drills since kindergarten told me I should vote #Yeson2

Proud to be a #Mainer today. #MEpolitics

Maine Question 2 – 56% of votes counted √ Yes, 154,535 60.5% No, 100,868 39.5%

AP calls Maine's Question 2 on adding red flag law to existing yellow flag law as Yes, passed, with 56% of votes counted.

"Yes wins. AP race call at 9:55 p.m. on Nov. 4, 2025."

And so it goes…

#NoOn1 victory is essentially Mainers sensibly preserving broad trust in all voters. The issue is partisan and results tell the GOP we’re on to ‘their fear-mongering.

#YesOn2 landslide is a huge step forward in rational common sense on guns. This is a major #mepolitics shift.

My bellwethers:

#NoOn1 winning #ME02 spells trouble for Maine's GOP. It means an issue's complexity was understood beyond fearmongering.

#YesOn2 winning Androscoggin Co means we're finally getting into a rational environment to discuss well reasoned gun law.

Both iffy but #mepolitics directional.

I join the vast majority of #Ohio’s elected officials across the political spectrum to recommend a vote for #YesOn2 which simply allows the state to keep borrowing money for infrastructure projects. This is the only issue on tomorrow’s ballot for most of us!

Notice lots of overlap in communities voting #NoOn2 (MCAS grad) in 2024 and #YesOn2 (lift cap on charter schools) in 2016 (especially in the wealth of their residents)? I guess neither group convinced our urban communities that they were looking out for them (like ads claimed)?

Report often cited by MCAS backers isn't as pro-MCAS as they say Is the MCAS graduation requirement itself the spark that drives improvement for all students? The evidence says otherwise.

Think for a moment what motivation an out-of-state billionaire has for maintaining a standardized test as a requirement for a high school diploma.

Hint: A large underclass is a source of cheap, disposable labor.

Lawmakers could repeal new laws from ballot questions As voters begin to weigh in on ballot questions with early voting, top Massachusetts Democrats are leaving the possibility open of appealing potential new laws

Anti-Q2 folks: Stop saying Question 2 "gets rid of MCAS." Opponents of Question 2 are lying to you to try and win through deception. IT DOES NOT GET RID OF MCAS. PERIOD. We will still have MCAS as an "evaluative tool." Please vote hard for #YesOn2!

It's early voting time! 🗳️ Not sure how you are voting on Massachusetts Question 2 (to end the MCAS graduation requirement)? Consider reading about why I am #YesOn2. christophermartell.blogspot.com/2024/09/why-...

I really trust @tracynovick.bsky.social, and her post reinforces some of my own second guessing. So many arguments on either side do not engage with the substance of the question, but Tracy really does. In the end, I think I’m still #YesOn2, but it’s not a straightforward or obvious vote at all.

Voted early.

Disappointed that so many candidates are running unopposed. And in the big contested election my vote is irrelevant due to the anti-democratic electoral college. But I did take the opportunity to voteYes for all 5 MA ballot initiatives.

Some voters think Question 2 will eliminate the MCAS. I wonder where they get that idea (which is incorrect)? Roll clip of Gov. Maura Healey yesterday. "If you eliminate MCAS, you don't have anything else to replace it as a statewide standard." #YesOn2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jms7...

Finally, there is no evidence that Massachusetts is top in the nation on education because we have a graduation exam. Only 2 of the top 10 states on NAEP have graduation exams. The other one, New Jersey, also has a push to end theirs. #YesOn2 christophermartell.blogspot.com/2024/09/why-...

Nor does Question 2 leave Massachusetts without uniform standards (there are mandated curriculum frameworks that all teachers must follow). Nor does every politician in the state oppose it (just the ones most easily influenced by big business). #YesOn2 christophermartell.blogspot.com/2024/09/why-...

📢 I'll say it again for the folks in the back (and anyone who heard misinformation during the WBUR and GBH debates today). Question 2 does not get rid of the MCAS exam (just gets rid of an arbitrary passing score needed on it to get a diploma). #YesOn2 christophermartell.blogspot.com/2024/09/why-...
