Political scientists Paul Herrnson, Michael Hamner, and Richard Niemi have published “The Impact of Ballot Type on Voter Errors”. See a description of the paper here. The paper concludes that voters make fewer errors in the absence of a straight-ticket device, and more errors when the straight-ticket device exists. The kind of errors measured are unintentional undervotes, and also voting for someone whom the voter did not wish to vote for. Thanks to Election Updates for the link.
