Massachusetts First

On March 5th, every one of our America First challengers lost their fight against the Uniparty. The power struggle between establishment Republicans (who at best are squishy and, at worst, are outright Globalists) and America First Republicans is playing out locally across the country as well as in D.C.’s hallowed halls of Congress and the Senate.

One of my “favorite” examples of how the MA GOP works against the best interests of the people is the Illegal aliens’ right to have driver’s licenses. Volunteers across the state worked their tails off collecting enough signatures to make it a ballot initiative in 2022. The Dems flooded the airwaves with pro messaging. Did our MA GOP spend one cent countering this anti-American nonsense? Nope. A big thanks to Amy Carnevale and her coup – er crew. With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?

Fast forward a couple of years to March 5th, our State Committee elections and the 2024 presidential primary. In the run-up to the March 5th State elections, something nefarious was going on at the RMV. Between December 2022 and March 2024, anyone who renewed or applied for a driver’s license was compelled to register to vote – even if they were already registered. (Why is the RMV involved with voter registration, anyway?) When I say compelled, I mean the Get Smart iron door slams down with a resounding clang. You must agree to the register-to-vote step if you want to get your license. But wait! Where is the choice of party affiliation or the option to claim neither and register as unaffiliated? A sentient and trusting person who is already registered might think their previous party affiliation choice will be confirmed. Not true. All Republican and unaffiliated voters’ registration was changed to Democrat or Libertarian.  

The upshot, brace yourself:  During that timeframe, 135,000 illegals received learner’s permits, and over 140,000 received driver’s licenses. That’s over 275,000 non-citizens with automatic voter registration by the RMV, who, by no surprise, registered them as Democrats and Libertarians.

What about the U.S. citizens who visited the RMV during that period? Over 15k couldn’t vote in the primary because Massachusetts citizens had their registration chosen or changed by the RMV. I worked at Marblehead’s Precinct 4 on March 5th. Many Republican voters, having no idea that the RMV had changed their party affiliation, were turned away or told to take the ballot of their fraudulently assigned affiliation and write in their favored Republican candidate – a futile exercise as the vote would not be counted. I never saw any of these folks offered a provisional ballot.

Had I known what I know now, I would have spoken up. Most poll workers don’t know the rules. I have contacted our town Republican committee requesting a call for poll workers and watchers to go out. Those who answer the call will be given the rules. Come November 5th, I will be armed with the rules, and my voice will be heard.
