Supporters said that these platforms and wagering participation are problematic on many grounds, specifically misinterpreting political outcomes. They are commonly mistaken as indicators for who is winning an election when that is not the case. “Since online gambling was legalized in Massachusetts, political wagering has significantly increased, with billions of dollars generated,” said sponsor Sen. Jake Oliveira (D-Ludlow). “In the 2024 presidential election, over $3.2 billion in wagers related were placed on one platform alone. I filed this legislation to ensure stronger safeguards for our election processes and their accuracy. The bill is rooted in preserving the integrity of democratic processes by prohibiting wagering on elections or legislative outcomes, preventing the commodification of our democratic processes.” PREVENT SUICIDE (S 1109) – This legislation would criminalize coerced suicide. The measure would impose up to a 5-year prison sentence on a person who has actual knowledge of another person’s suicidal ideation, and either coerces the other person to commit suicide, or provides the physical means, or knowledge of such means, to commit suicide. “I filed this bill in honor of Conrad Roy, a young man who died after his girlfriend Michelle Carter relentlessly pressured him into taking his own life,” said sponsor Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover). “Conrad’s Law is a common-sense reform that has support from across the political spectrum. If passed, it will help save lives.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Everything from gas to housing to taxes is too expensive. Too many kids aren’t receiving the education they need to compete in a global economy. Our transportation system is still broken. The unspeakable violence in migrant shelters is a human tragedy and a national embarrassment.
