      No. It isn't. It's a win for those who want longer lines at the voting both in the primarily urban areas more likely to vote Democrat. It's a win for those who want to suppress the vote in those areas by making voting more time consuming. You're fooling no one.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1037535462783692800 …

      This is a huge win in Michigan for equality under the law, fairness in the political process, and independent and third-party candidates. It is a huge blow to partisans in the Republican and Democratic political establishments. https://twitter.com/detroitnews/status/1037502923297697792 …

      You’re fooling no one. Straight-ticket voting is designed primarily to make it prohibitively difficult for someone to win running outside of the major parties; it saves little time for partisan voters. To fix long lines, we need more polling places and a longer voting period.

      First of all your presumption includes the racial undertone that only urban, black voters use the straight-ticket option. Secondly, it ignores how early voting has mitigated long waits on election day. People have plenty of time to go down the ballot and choose their candidates.

      You're living in a fantasy world if your belive that. It also doesn't assume that only urban minority voters use straight ticket. It assumes that eliminating straight ticket voting will disproportionately affect voters there because of fewer polling places.

          Regardless, it isn't hard to look at the ballot and check every Republican or Democrat candidate if that's what you want to do. You don't even have to look at the names, even though I firmly believe each candidate, not his/her party, should receive a vote. This isn't China.

          So instead of increasing polling places and lengthening the time younhave to vote, you want to make it easier for people to vote without thinking about who they are voting for?

          Yup, I think what he's saying is, if we have more polling places he'd be OK with eliminating straight ticket voting.
