"The only debate in the secretary of state’s race ended with the candidates branding each other “a liar” and “a faker,” capping off a testy exchange in which the two men sparred over voter identification, electoral security, the way the incumbent runs his office, and his challenger’s background.
Secretary Bill Galvin, a Brighton Democrat, went after Swampscott Republican Anthony Amore on WGBH’s “Greater Boston” over Amore’s voting record, speaking fees he’d accepted as an author, and his stance on voter ID requirements, which Galvin said came out of the “Republican playbook.”
