William Francis Galvin (born on September 17, 1950) is the current Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth (Massachusetts's Secretary of State).
Galvin was born in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts) and educated in Brighton public schools.
Galvin has been an active participant in the National Association of Secretaries of State, serving first as Chairman of the Standing Committee on Securities, then as Co-Chairman of the Committee on Presidential Primaries.
Galvin attributed the problem to the campaign's failure to meet Tuesday's deadline to submit signatures for certification at local city and town halls because many of the papers were mailed too late and missed the legally established 5 p.m.
Galvin said that his office's computerized system that monitors the certification process showed that Nader had 5,700 valid signatures late yesterday, with most of the communities that would be Nader strongholds, such Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston, having reported.
Galvin, saying his office "bends over backwards" to get candidates on the ballot, said the charge is "a red herring." He noted that Massachusetts has one of the lowest thresholds for gaining ballot access for a presidential candidate.
