In this bonus deep dive episode, podcast regulars Jonathan and Jordan are joined by guests Elaine Almquist and Cara Berg Powers, each decades of experience in progressive politics and campaigns to the fight against a growing threat to democracy: Ballot Question 3. Together, we take a closer look at how top-two primaries would decrease principles of fair representation in our state government, weaken government accountability, and contribute to a multitude of other ills for Bay State residents. With lessons from California, Washington, Colorado, and Arizona, the panel makes the case that this isn't democratic reform — it's a threat to grassroots power. Don't let private equity buy our democracy: Vote No on 3!

At the Incorruptibles, we know that state and local governments are critical to democracy. But Massachusetts has been struggling to keep elections competitive at the state level, something that threatens representation in our State House and undermines democracy. Anna, Jonathan, and Jordan are joined by campaign consultant Elaine Almquist to unpack the problems with the top-two primary system proposed in the upcoming Ballot Question 3, including how it could undermine political parties, weaken coalition-building, make elections more expensive, and give wealthy candidates an even greater advantage.

Massachusetts has been fighting for Election Day registration for 18 years, and now voters have a chance to make it happen at the ballot box. Anna, Jonathan, and Jordan are joined by Celia Canavan of the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts to break down Question 4, debunk claims about voter fraud and increased costs, and explain why Election Day registration can make voting easier while actually reducing the burden on local election officials. Expanding access to the ballot is a matter of making sure every voter has a voice in our democracy: Vote Yes on Question 4!
