Galvin said he expected to look at over 600,000 Democratic primary ballot papers by the end of Tuesday, and said the GOP ballot “will definitely be more than 400,000 tomorrow.”
“This morning’s decision makes all the more important that voters who have expressed their opinion on the presidency take the opportunity to express them, because what was clearly said by the court today that they should decide the results of the presidential election today. Will not do anything for He has left it to voters and finally the Congress on the issue of enforcement of the 14th amendment, ”Briton Democrat told reporters.
The state record for voting in the Republican President’s primary was set in 2016, when 637,703 voters cast a GOP ballot.
The party’s enrollment continues to decrease, while unknown or “independent” voters are capable of choosing growing rank day on which ballot they want to pull, and Galvin said that freedom can actually swing an election. “
This calendar year contains comparatively “low” party changes “Democrats are becoming independent”. From January 1, the secretary said. Those former Democrats will now be free to draw a Republican primary polling.
“It could be a factor in tomorrow’s voting,” Galvin said. He said, “I had to assume eight years ago that when I saw Democrats going to Republican, they were doing for Trump, because he was a candidate with speed eight years ago in primary, and he was. I mean I mean Clearly – I think there is a common theme Donald Trump between 2016, 2020 and 2024, although it is a factor.
Next to the Super Tuesday, an attempt in Massachusetts is going on to write in the “ceasefire” on Democratic ballot papers, which is a protest vote for the policies of the President who is the President of Biden amid the Israeli-Hamas war.
At Trump vs. Anderson, the US Supreme Court ruled that “Enforcement against federal office holders and candidates” of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is known as the rebellion section – “rests with Congress and not with states. “
The constitutional amendment of the reconstruction-era includes an prohibition on some previous office holders, which are “engaged in rebellion” later “under any office, civil or military, United States, or under any state” Are. ,
Citing that clause, challenges for Trump’s ballot have been launched in many states. In Massachusetts, a challenge was rejected by the Bellet Law Commission, which was decided by Justice Frank Gajiano of the Supreme Judicial Court in January.
The US Supreme Court wrote on Monday, “The results of the conflicting state related to the same candidate can not only result in different views of merit, but also control the action by variation in the law of the state, Section 3 Disqualification Determination Are necessary to do. Some states may allow a section 3 challenge to be successful on the basis of an east -class of evidence, while others may require a high performance. ,
The result may be a “patchwork” of state enforcement, the ruling said, and “[n]Outing in the Constitution requires that we tolerate such anarchy – at any time or at different time, beyond the opening. ,
Galvin said that the High Court reported its unanimous opinion before the “deliberate” Super Tuesday, when 15 states decide the representatives of their conference. The traditional pre-primary press conference of the secretary was already scheduled for Monday morning, when the ruling national came into the headlines about half an hour after.
“They did not take a bench to release it, they released before 10 am – so that all the voters who are voting tomorrow, and all the voters voting in the next few months know what are the rules, Know what is the effect of the 14th amendment, and know who is responsible for implementing it, who they say that Congress is, it is a majority, ”Galvin said.
Galvin had already read the verdict by his press conference at 10:30 pm and underlined that it was a unanimous decision of nine Justices.
But he said that there was a difference in the agreed opinion whether the court should have said that “only an Act of the Congress” could implement the 14th amendment.
“And as the three concurrent Justice said, he did not think that it was necessary to go to that step at this point. And they really … suggested that the majority was insulating the court on further action on the issue of rebellion section even after the election, that it would leave it to the Congress. … It also tells voters that if you are actually concerned about the rebellion section, and they probably should be, it is above them, that you need to influence the election of Congress members. ,
Attorney Mark Salinas, which was hired by the State Republican Party to hire Trump on the Bay State Primary ballot, stated in a statement that Trump was pushed to remove from primary ballots “purely inspired.”
“This was the only correct result when you get politics out of analysis. So we saw a unanimous decision from the court, ”Salinas said on Monday.
“This decision is a victory for the people of the Commonwealth of our democracy and Massachusetts,” said in an email explosion. “Citizens have the right to vote that they feel the most confident in representing them, and the Supreme Court’s decision confirms this fundamental right.”
Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm on Tuesday.
In some communities, local matters will also be fixed on Tuesday.

And six cities are also holding concurrent municipal elections with separate ballot papers: Dover, Lexington, Planfield, Reading, South Hadley and Valesley.

“The opportunity is to participate for everyone,” he said.
