NC Republicans did away with straight ticket voting and it gave us a liberal Supreme Court

Could just increase the Trump coattails this time.

I suspect it’s because with a few exceptions the 2018 and 2019 elections went even worse for them than they expected. Most of the exceptions were Republican candidates that ran poor campaigns or were poor candidates to begin with. I suspect they anticipate losing even more offices because their voter base is too stupid to remember to vote in all the positions.

IOW ... the Dems prefer voters that dont educate themselves on candidates and issues. Straight party voting caters to that simple-minded crowd.

the change to the ballot itself starts this year.
They swept Rat judges into Houston via straight party voting in 2018.

As a Texan with George P Bush being Land Commissioner I never get to vote straight Republican.

Yup, but they did far worse than they had expected in other offices. It doesn’t hurt that the state GOP often doesn’t run candidates for judgeships and the Rats run unopposed.

100,000 straight party votes in Houston tossed out top level judges in Houston for millennial carpetbaggers.

if a judgeship is unopposed, straight ticket or not isn’t going to change that

Harris County got a terrible, unqualified County Judge due to ‘Rats straight-ticket voting. She was terrible addressing the Coronavirus concerns yesterday on TV. She appeared to be not up to speed on Coronavirus. First thing she wants to do is raise taxes.

They know they can’t win but they’re going for an injunction for the 2020 general election. Watch for the judge’s name. She’s not an American but a naturalized meskin from Nuevo Laredo appointed by Barry Soetero.

This year you could because George P. is not up for reelection.

I cant imagine any other reason they would want to fight this.
Republicans voted for Abbott who won like 60/40 and not for Cruz who almost lost to that weird Irish fake Latino guy
Dems were fine with that.
