The state’s most populous ethnic group, non-Hispanic white, has declined from 95.4% in 1970 to 67.6% in 2020. As of 2011, non-Hispanic whites were involved in 63.6% of all the births, while 36.4% of the population of Massachusetts younger than age 1 was minorities (at least one parent who was not non-Hispanic white). One major reason for this is that non-Hispanic whites in Massachusetts recorded a total fertility rate of 1.36 in 2017, the second-lowest in the country after neighboring Rhode Island.

8.2% African-American, 8.2 % Asian-American, and 12.6% Hispanic.

The Democrats control the Massachusetts vote.

When I used my Obama 2008 Vote Fraud tool, it was apparent that the Dems pumped up their 2020 "turnout" in Massachusetts to run up the total Democrat "vote" nationally.

This was part of the recipe for getting 81 million "votes".

My conclusion from my tool would be that Massachusetts is actually redder than it appears, as this author has written.

Also MA, but I live in a conservative town with a town square hosting summer concerts and lit Christmas trees and creche. We vote on paper ballots and everyone knows everyone. Closest thing to growing up in the midwest I’ve ever found. And, yes, people of any sense avoid the crazy, liberal parts of the state. But everyone in MA is not living in the progressive dream world and here, in our little conservative island, we’ll keep voting against the crazies.

It doesn’t matter so long as the states are all using computer voting machines for elections. Everything that happens in real life is nothing to an algorithm that can be changed to suit those who provide the machines. I am more and more coming to expect a Democrat blow-out in the vote counting this November.
5% vote switch in 2020 got the presidency but it wasn’t extended to the Congressional races. It will likely be 10% this year and extend the length of the ticket.

Most small towns everywhere—if they are not uber rich and not near to cities— tend to be conservative.

"What absolute horsebeep! Red China will go Republican before The Gay State does."

Reagan took Massachusetts twice, 1980 and 1984. He said the right things that resonated with blue collar workers. Remember there are more unenrolled party voters than republicans and Democrats combined.
