Removal of Texas Straight-Ticket Device Seems to Have Helped Libertarian Vote Percentages

In 2020, the Texas ballots didn’t have a straight-ticket device, the first time ever since the 1950’s.  Removing the device effective 2020 seems to have helped increase the percentage of the vote for lower-ticket Libertarian candidates.

In 2018, in the U.S. House districts in which there was a Republican, a Democrat, and a Libertarian, the Libertarian U.S. House candidates polled 1.66% of the vote..  In 2020, in Texas U.S. House districts with a Democrat, Republican, and Libertarian, the Libertarians polled 2.43%.

In statewide judicial partisan races with all three parties in the race, in 2020, the three Libertarians polled 2.52%, 2.34%, and 2.51%.  In 2018, there was only one judicial race with three parties, and the Libertarian in that race polled 2.28%.

Removal of Texas Straight-Ticket Device Seems to Have Helped Libertarian Vote Percentages — 8 Comments

  1. How many regimes NOW with ye olde straight-ticket device ???

    — invented for illiterate voters — now a New Age growing trend —

    see the several BAN troll morons esp. —

    like monkeys typing away to produce the novel War and Peace again.

  2. There appears to be more divergence between the top of the ticket and down ballot races in Texas than in benighted regimes like Michigan. John James might have been elected but for straight ticket voting.

  3. Straight-ticket option added as REQUIREMENT in Mich Const in Nov 2018.

    MICH 2020 STO votes data MIA as of a few days ago.

    Am working to get it on MI SOS website.

  4. Honestly I like the straight ticket and hope more states bring it back. I like being able to vote Republican quick and easy without having to go down the ballot clicking each one. It’s a waste of time having to do that since I already know I would never vote for anyone else.

  5. IF DONKEYS GET TOTAL POWER IN 2021 I USA REGIME, THEN Straight-ticket option IS CERTAIN – AT LEAST FOR USA REP AND SENATOR.

  6. Trump should of already declared martial law by now. Oh well, better late than never. If congress fails to do its duty and reject illegal Biden votes Jan 6 there is clearly no other choice and what must be done will finally be done.

  7. NOOO shortage of MORON folks in history who love having LAWLESS TYRANTS

    — esp now due to moron civics/govt classes in junk publik skooools.
