You're welcome! Voting reform is actually where you'll find the clearest difference between traditional Massachusetts liberal Democratic politicians, and the ones we're calling "progressives" (such as Pat Jehlen). For example, Joe Mackey is running on the left in this election, pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-death penalty... but he said in the PDS questionnaire that he opposes requiring paper ballots, opposes instant runoff voting, and he didn't sound enthusiastic about nonpartisan redistricting. Pat Jehlen is not only co-sponsoring bills for nonpartisan redistricting and instant runoff voting, she also volunteered that we need same day registration, which the questionnaire didn't ask about.
