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 …

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.

Yawn. All it means to me is instead of voting once for all the Republicans, I'll have to vote for each one individually. May take longer, but be more satisfying, like taking smaller bites of a delicious dish.

You sound like a big government bureaucrat who doesn’t believe Americans know how they want to vote.

Keep fighting, Justin. This is just another way to prop up the duopoly.

I like it. I love it. I don't want idiots voting in Michigan. If your supporters can't read that says volumes about you. Always I wade through mountains of democrat tweets espousing their intelligence. Total BS.

Your whole page is full of falsehoods Jon.

If voting takes too long you obviously don't really care and probably shouldn't vote. It's important so maybe take the time.

So, as someone who promotes science and exposes quackery, one can assume you have actual data that supports your conclusions about the effects of straight ticket voting and that you're not just, you know, blowing smoke?

How do you feel about Ranked Choice Voting (AKA Instant Runoff) as another way to safely grow smaller parties without worrying about the spoiler effect, providing voters more choice? Would you support it for federal elections?

You are celebrating making it harder for people to vote. People are busy, but you want to make voting take longer because it benefits Republicans when fewer people vote.

Even the article you quote and the district court that struck it down say this will make voting take longer: People will have "to wait the extra 20 minutes or so (according to the district court’s estimate) in line"

While we need more polling equipment/sites, please share the studies that support your claim, thank you.

And some 45% of eligible voters don’t vote. Mostly because they are not sold on either one. So who represents them? Me?

Both gentlemen are right. Without additional polling places the removal of straight-ticket voting makes voting harder. They should work in companion. Straight-ticket should ONLY be eliminated in companion with an proper increase in polling places.

It's just so nice to see so many people that believe voting isn't important enough to slow down and take their time to make informed choices.
