"...This is a blatantly partisan law..." So the Democrats are saying that their own voters are so stupid they can't fill out an entire ballot? Someone call John Kerry!!

IMO, party identification should not be listed on ballots at all -- if you care about that, learn the freakin' names of your party's candidates.

We know that the majority of straight-party voters are Democrats. Restated, more Democrats are sheep who blindly follow their party, while more Republicans and others vote for individual candidates.
Personally, I think this should be illegal everywhere. The Constitution didn't establish two parties, so our voting under the Constitution shouldn't be allowed to be just for those two parties. Either put a straight-ticket for all registered parties, or for none.

Democrats are less likely to be motivated to go through and vote for every Democratic party candidate on the ballot"
If a regular ballot is too tedious for you, then we really don't want you voting anyway. I wonder if this one-check-box is for illiterate voters?

Coleman said that the law was created to keep Democrats illegals, dead folks and MO inmates from voting.

It was Democrat judges who lobbied to get rid of the straight-line voting option because no Democrat judges were getting elected.
They wanted to force voters to look at each race.

Maybe I enjoyed taking tests in school to much and am half crazy, but I enjoy marking each good candidate individually.
After taking the time to drive over there and stand in line, marking just one box seems anticlamatic.
To: rface
I've always had to vote for individual candididates and have had no trouble voting a straight Republican ticket. I just use both hands!

My bet is the straight party vote helps the democrats in voter fraud. It is much easier to mark a ballot once for straight democrat when stuffing ballot boxes with ballots than to have to mark each and every name. The same is true when paying the homeless to vote (if they have to look for each name, they may screw it up).

re: FOWL
Why do I imagine the cast of 'Arrested Development' now doing their individual signature 'chicken dances?'
"Chaw-chee-chaw-chee-chaw-chee-chaw."
Caw-ka-kaw, Caw-ka-kaw, Caw-ka-kaw, Caw-ka-kaw"
"Has anyone in this family ever actually seen a chicken?"

Maybe I enjoyed taking tests in school to much and am half crazy, but I enjoy marking each good candidate individually. I, too, derive great satisfaction from voting for each Republican individually. I smile to myself and think, "Take that! And that! And that!"
