Mass. voters choose "no" on Question 1, Sen. Kerry re-elected

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

According to an article by Eric Moskowitz of The Boston Globe, Massachusetts voters chose "no" on ballot Question 1 to eliminate the state's income tax, meaning there will be no change.

The Associated Press called the results for Question 1 at 8:45 p.m.

The same ballot question was also defeated in 2002 by a "slim margin," the article said.

The Globe also reported Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry has been re-elected defeating GOP candidate Jeffrey Beatty.

The Associated Press called Kerry the victor shortly after 8 p.m. when the polls closed.
