BOSTON — The state Elections Division has ruled the Nov. 8 ballot will include a question asking voters if they want to overturn the new immigrant license law.
The referendum cleared the threshold by almost double and if it succeeds, it will be a knock against the state Legislature as well, critics say.
“It just shows how out of touch the Democratic Legislature is with the will of the people,” MassGOP chair Jim Lyons said after Friday’s announcement. “We will absolutely win. A poll had us winning 51% to 37%.”
