Legislative ALERT!!!
Rank-Choice Voting - A disaster in Disguise
This could be you if you publicly criticize the certification of a fraudulent election.
Bills have been introduced on Beacon Hill related to ranked choice voting, granting voting rights to non-citizens, and election misinformation bills that would appear to make it illegal to publicly comment on an election that was unlawfully certified. I encourage you to look up the bills at https://malegislature.gov/. The following is the suggested ranked choice script. Keep yours brief if you can. Please send this both to the Joint Committee on Election Law and your Reps. You’ll need to slightly modify the language to send it to your Reps. The list of committee members is at the bottom. Please send them out as soon as you are able.
Thanks!
Don't think these bills are too crazy to pass!
#2. Election misinformation Bill
#3. Stop a new law granting voting rights to non-citizens in local elections.
Dear Joint Committee on Election Law Committee Members,
There are several Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) bills in front of your committee, including but not limited to H.869, S.531, and H.809. The following are my concerns regarding these bills.
-
Voters would need to research all candidates for a particular office, including candidates they might not usually vote for, which could result in some voters not conducting the necessary research to make informed decisions.
-
Some voters might find the ranking process confusing, potentially leading to incorrect rankings or decisions not to vote.
-
There is a possibility that some voters might only vote for one candidate, and if that candidate is eliminated after the first round, their vote would be excluded from subsequent rounds.
-
RCV involves a longer voting process and might be susceptible to errors.
-
Computer tabulation would be required, making it challenging to audit the results as required by Section 301 of the 2002 Help America Vote Act.
-
Hand recounts could be difficult, time-consuming, and prone to error. Counting cannot begin until all ballots are received, which is 15 days after Election Day, delaying the final election results.
-
RCV may require voters to rank candidates they do not prefer. RCV was on the 2020 ballot and Massachusetts voters rejected it; 55% of Massachusetts voters opposed the adoption of RCV, while only 45% supported it.
For these reasons, I urge you to oppose these bills.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

STOP legislation to grant voting rights in municipal elections, to non-citizens.
Please write and oppose legislation related to bills that if passed, would grant voting rights in municipal elections, to non-citizens. Please send the emails to your Reps only.
Thanks!
Dear (Rep or Sen),
There are several bills introduced that are related to granting voting rights in municipal elections, to non-citizens. These include but are not limited to S. 512, H.855, H.810, H. 866, H.3918, H.861, H3919, HD.542, and H.4033. It is vital to recognize the profound implications such a change would have on the foundation of American democracy. The following are the key reasons for opposing these bills, emphasizing the importance of preserving the sanctity of citizenship and the integrity of the electoral process.
-
Non-citizens, by definition, do not possess the same allegiance to American culture or the Constitution as citizens do. Citizenship is more than just legal status; it signifies a commitment to the values, principles, and laws that govern the nation.
-
Allowing non-citizens to vote could risk diluting the very foundation of this great nation, as their interests and perspectives might at times conflict with those of American citizens.
-
Their participation in elections could potentially influence the outcome in ways that might not reflect the will of the citizenry. This divergence could lead to decisions that prioritize non-citizen interests over those of the citizens, undermining the principle of governance by the people.
-
The right to vote has always been a privilege reserved for citizens. This distinction is crucial in maintaining the significance of citizenship. If non-citizens were allowed to vote, it would dilute the meaning of citizenship and de-incentivize non-citizens from becoming citizens through the legal process. Citizenship should remain a status that individuals strive to achieve, embracing the responsibilities and privileges it entails.
-
Voting is a key component of representation in the American system of government. Allowing non-citizens to vote imposes on national sovereignty and the principle that the nation should be governed by its citizens.
-
Ensuring that only eligible voters participate in elections is critical for election integrity. Adding non-citizens to the voter rolls can complicate the process of verifying voter eligibility and maintaining accurate voter lists.
-
Allowing non-citizens to vote could affect public trust in the electoral system. If citizens believe that non-citizens are influencing election outcomes, it could lead to decreased confidence in the process and in American institutions. Trust in the electoral system is foundational to a functioning democracy, and any actions that undermine this trust should be carefully scrutinized and avoided.
-
Many immigrants to the city come from countries where they have never experienced real democracy. Even those coming from truly democratic nations have not experienced the United States’ unique brand of democracy. New citizens must pass a test on American history and civics for just this reason. This process ensures that they understand and appreciate the values and principles that underpin American democracy, further reinforcing the importance of citizenship in voting rights.
In conclusion, it is essential to oppose the bills that would allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections. The right to vote is a fundamental privilege that should remain exclusive to citizens. Preserving the integrity of citizenship and the electoral process is crucial for maintaining the trust and functionality of American democracy. Non-citizens should be encouraged to pursue citizenship through the legal process, thereby fully embracing the responsibilities and privileges that come with it. By ensuring that only eligible voters participate in elections, we can uphold the principles of representation and national sovereignty, fostering a democracy that truly reflects the will of its citizens.
