The nurses said YES but the public said NO
The Ballot question that has been the stir of controversy and heated disputes between friends, families, and coworkers has been overwhelmingly voted against in the polls.
When the "Safe patient limit's," question hit the ticket to be an issue to vote on nurses flocked the streets, news outlets, and social media sites to spread the word that they felt the public was not being adequately cared for in hospitals. Administrators and the other health groups fought back arguing that setting patient limits on nurses would actually do more harm than good and that there needs to be other ways to promote safety in hospitals.
The argument has been deeper than this but after a strong fight from both sides of the ballot question, Massachusetts has decided with a resounding NO on question 1 vote. With over 1 million voters, over 70% of them voted NO to defeat the question 1 ballot initiative.
Also on the ballot was the question of Election spending commissions, as question 2. This initiative which passed, will create a committee to change the constitution in order to define how corporations can donate to politics.
Question 3, Gender anti-discrimination law, was voted YES. This upheld a law previously in place that prohibits discriminating against a person based on their "gender identity." Essentially this means that if someone believes to be of the opposite, or a certain sex, that they are entitled to full use of that sex's accommodations such as bathrooms and changing rooms.
