Indiana Bill to Eliminate Straight-Ticket Device

Two Indiana representatives have introduced HB 1069, to eliminate the straight-ticket device. The authors are both Republicans from Indianapolis. They are Phillip Hinkle and Cindy Noe. Generally, bills to repeal the straight-ticket device are introduced by members of the minority party in the legislature, but in this case the authors are members of the majority party.

Other states with bills to repeal the straight-ticket device this year, so far, are Texas and West Virginia. A straight-ticket device is place on a general election ballot that allows a voter to cast a vote for all nominees of one particular party, without even looking at the ballot to see who is running.

  1. Obviously one more Elephant conspiracy – so that less Donkey voters do NOT vote for offices like state senator or state rep further down / right on the ballots — ALL connected with the ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymander WARS in ALL 50 States.

  2. Are such about 14 States better or worse off than the other about 36 States ???

    i.e. in having more or less crazy party hacks in the regimes.
