Massachusetts law treats No Preference as a candidate, to be counted and certified as such. The official Secretary of State certification of the results listed NP as the winner. The claim that the SOS "recognized" Supreme as the winner in MA is false, and premised only on the automated display on the MA SOS site not recognizing NP as a candidate. But that has no legal standing and is irrelevant: it was never a claim by the SOS that Supreme and not NP was the winner. It wasn't even the result of any human being making that claim.
I agree that the whole purpose of this page is dubious and more misleading than helpful, and it should probably be folded into the convention article. But if the primaries are going to have their own article the results should be counted accurately per state law, not with a false claim about a secretary of state declaring the runner-up the real winner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.105.63 ( talk) 07:22, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
