Do local voters really need to spend time deciding whether to create a world government? Not really. So Massachusetts needs to rethink its policy that allows advocacy groups to clutter the ballot with frivolous, non-binding questions, measures that may have contributed to the outrageous three-hour delays at some precincts last week.
It takes as few as 200 signatures to put a non-binding “public policy question” on a local ballot. In many parts of the state, voters had to wade through two or more of them. That’s in addition to the three statewide ballot questions, which were binding.

Every elected politician needs to ask, "How can the U.S. democracy become a true democracy?"
Imagine the state of Florida having a ballot of more than ten pages? Imagine half the people of the U.S. are not represented by the man called,"President of the U.S."
Imagine the President of the U.S. is not ashamed to admit that his "Campaign Manager" is also his "Presidential Handler" and, "Presidential Advisor."
