Why not in our own elections? MassDems convention delegates were required to present identification prior to vote. ID requirement initiated to preserve integrity, so why do they refuse to consider it for Massachusetts elections? June 6, 2022 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Evan Lips, communications director 617-523-5005 ext. 245 WOBURN -- The Massachusetts Democratic Party's nomination convention Saturday in Worcester included a requirement their own standard-bearer, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, calls a "discriminatory policy taken from the same playbook as Jim Crow." According to the Boston Herald, Democrats "wanted a level of legitimacy with voting" and employed the use of a voter identification smartphone application, with delegates "ordered to complete the voter identification process by 11:30 a.m. Saturday or they were banned from voting." The level of hypocrisy was not lost on Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons. "The Democrats deployed a voter identification requirement on Saturday they've long smeared as being racist, even though it's a policy that an overwhelming majority of Americans support," Lyons said. "It's obvious they can't trust themselves to conduct an honest election so they turned to a voter ID requirement as a safeguard against fraud. "It all boils down to this: If the Democrats are requiring voter ID to participate in their intraparty elections, why won't they support the same requirement to ensure the integrity of Massachusetts elections?"
