#YesOn2
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.

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."

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!

“The first reason to end the MCAS graduation requirement is, after two decades, it hasn’t produced results.

The second reason to vote yes on Question 2 is that the graduation requirement hurts students and narrows their education.”

#YesOn2 #bospoli #mapoli
Two reasons to vote Yes on Question 2
1. The MCAS graduation requirement has failed to help students. 2. It has harmed thousands.

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-...

Massachusetts has a chance to ensure all high school students who complete their school's graduation requirements get a diploma AND raise graduation standards. Join me in voting #YesOn2.

Florida’s sun, its sandy beaches, the electric life of Miami, Orlando’s amusement parks, the nature of the Everglades, the universities, the Keys and their transparent waters, Cape Canaveral and its rockets… Florida is a destination of choice, and a safe bet for revelers, the curious, groups and singles. But what should you know about Florida?

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.

All Massachusetts elected national and nearly all statewide Dems have endorsed the ending the MCAS as a needless obstacle to graduation (as it doesn't test anything useful). If you want to join Rep. McGovern in door knocking for YESON2 you can mobilize.us/s/EQn67t

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...

That is some definite nightmare fuel. Though, full in YesOn2 mode and I can't see the word test without thinking about the MCAS, which honestly makes this picture even weirder.

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!

📢 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-...

Media casting this as "voters are split," but it is really "need to convince additional 5-10% of voters to eliminate MCAS graduation requirement." Feels a lot like 2016 charter school ballot question. Talk to everyone you know! It's go time for #YesOn2! www.wbur.org/news/2024/09...
