If the Massachusetts House of Representatives prevails, any registered Massachusetts voter will be allowed to vote in the mail this September and November.
The bill passed 155-1 in the Massachusetts House. The only no vote came from state Representative Colleen Garry (D-Dracut).
Governor Charlie Baker declined to comment today on a lawsuit claiming he has exceeded his authority under Massachusetts law by ordering the coronavirus emergency shutdowns.
"Normally, we don't really speak to lawsuits when they're in process. Obviously, we're aware of the fact that it was filed. When people issue decisions, we usually comment on that. But I don't usually comment on pending litigation," Baker said during a coronavirus press conference Saturday, June 6, answering a reporter's question.
