The state election in Massachusetts has the following "Right to repair" ballot question, but since I don't know much about this kind of thing, I am looking for some input to help me make the right decision, so just whats your stance and why. Linked is a summary of the question by the Massachusetts state general attorney, some arguments not and in favour of the question and the full text of the question.

Note: Please don't start a flame war by attacking people's position on this matter, this is meant to be a mature, intellectual discussion.

 

I would likely vote for it. There are several things, especially in newer cars that other mechanics just can't touch due to the car manufacturer/ dealer only technology. I think it will stop dealers from jerking people around, especially if their service sucks.

 

Well, according to my local newspaper, they called the result of the right to repair in favour.
