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

I find it lacking that such issues as Abortion in Massachusetts, Same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, Gun laws in Massachusetts, and similar topics are not mentioned

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]

Alright, I will try to make improvements. Thank you for providing what is missing. Chutyo (talk) 21:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
