Gonna have to quick-fail this one. It's a long way from the good article criteria.

Lead
  • The lead is only a single sentence. It is too short and does not adequately summarize the article's content
  • "The politics of Massachusetts can been politically attributed as socially progressive since the early 1800s." - but this contradicts with "During the first half of the 1900s, Boston was socially conservative" later in the article
Antebellum
  • This section is almost entirely unsourced. We'll need inline citations for just about everything.
Gilded Age and Progressive Era
  • Likewise, there is just far too much uncited here.
  • This section seems to have an overemphasis on censorship, and doesn't discuss other factors in enough detail
Post-war
  • Only really talks about the nuclear stuff, when there are many other things to talk about as well
State
  • Unsourced, this needs inline citations
Federal
  • Unsourced
Party registration
  • Incomplete, we need some history as to trends and such
Completeness issues

Given that this article needs a lot more inline citations, and is far from complete, I'll have to quick-fail this nomination. Hog Farm Talk 21:07, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
