Massachusetts voters have officially voted “Yes” on Question 1, allowing the State Auditor to audit the state Legislature.
The measure passed with 71.4 percent of the vote, with 63.43 percent of precincts reporting as of 11:54 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press. State Auditor Diana DiZoglio said she believes the government can do “amazing things” after the AP confirmed the results.
“Tonight’s victory is an opportunity for all of us to look forward and work to make our legislature better,” DiZoglio said in a statement. “The people of Massachusetts want the equity, transparency and accountability that a legislative audit would bring, not because of division or partisan lines, but because of our great potential to push forward progress together.”
