Galvin: Prez race, ballot questions may lead to record turnout

STATE HOUSE — With seven weeks until Election Day, registered Massachusetts voters can expect to find a red booklet in their mailboxes in the coming days that will detail each of the four ballot questions they will face in the voting booth.

As required by the state Constitution, Secretary of State William Galvin this week began mailing voter information booklets to all registered voters in the state. The booklet includes the full text of each of the four ballot questions, a summary of each question as prepared by the attorney general, pro and con statements from question supporters and opponents, the one-sentence statement that will accompany the question on the ballot, and other voting information.

What's a conservative to do in November's election? The presidential election is nothing short of a 5-alarm dumpster fire. Trump's celebration of ignorance, added to his unworthy character and impulsive, volatile personality, disqualify him for many conservatives on numerous grounds. Hillary Clinton is, well, Hillary. Leftist policy positions aside, every week brings a reminder of what it would be like to bring the Clinton entourage back to DC. The pneumonia incident is a microcosm of Clinton world — deny and vilify ("she's not sick, you're sexist for asking"), concede only what there is known evidence of ("oh, there is a video of her collapsing, she was dehydrated") and then roll out a carefully scripted modification later, declare the matter done and vilify some more ("sure she had pneumonia diagnosed a few days ago, but it's not contagious pneumonia, and pneumonia would be viewed as an asset in man, you sexist").
