Eliminating Straight Tickets? Bad for Dems?
Missouri State Senator John Loudon is calling for the elimination of straight-ticket balloting. Thirty-Four states gave done away with this kind of balloting, in which you have the option of hitting one button to vote for the enitre party ticket, and it seems to help Republicans, whom higher turnout (except in urban areas) is usually good for.
I didn't do this, though I did end up voting straight GOP. I think it is good, as it hurts the lazy. But whatever.
