They knew Diehl had no shot, they should have just punted on the race and saved money for more winnable elections in the state. Frankly I’m happy they didn’t do that, until Republicans can come to their senses they have no right to win anything so the less money they have to flip something the better.

The Mass GOP put its efforts (and money) behind the Question 4 ballot initiative to overturn the Massachusetts Work & Family Mobility Act. First getting it on the ballot, then attempting to get No to win. They stirred up anti-immigrant fervor and spread misinformation about how state driver's licenses will work for residents without proof of citizenship or immigration status. They were far more successful, as 46.3% voted no compared to the 34.9% who voted Diehl.
