On August 29, the same day New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver said she will put a straight-ticket device on the November 2018 ballot, the Republican Party state chair said the party will sue to stop that. See this story.

The Libertarian Party of New Mexico is also filing suit.
It appears that the Libertarian Party will do likewise.
PR — NO area wide logo — but individual logoes
See many foreign regime logo ballots — for illiterate voters – animals, plants, math, etc.
Richard, Can’t believe you left West Virginia off your list: “Richard Winger provided further context for the decision over at Ballot Access News: States have repealed straight ticket devices in the past fifty years are Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas (effective 2019), and Wisconsin. Michigan repealed its device in 2016, but a U.S. District Court recently struck down the Michigan repeal.” https://reason.com/blog/2018/08/29/new-mexico-gary-johnson-party-voting

The straight ticket in Texas is eliminated on September 1, 2020.
The straight ticket is only used in November of even-numbered years.
How lazy are Donkeys vs Elephants in voting for lower partisan offices on ballots
— IF there is no party logo vote device ???
The fate of Western Civilization depends on the answer ???
YIKES !!!
—
Does ANY State put legislative body offices FIRST on the ballots ???
— or do ALL of them have top executive / barbarian tribal chief offices FIRST on the ballots ???
Little wonder about barbarian tribal *LEADER* politics in the USA – esp since 1932.
The failure to allow diversity in elections is a common trait of all plurality elections.
Pluralists want to narrow the choices to one or two names because plurality elections insure a two-party system and they don’t have any use for a new path which doesn’t cement the status quo in power.
The task of building correct policy in elections is made more difficult by the mechanics of plurality elections. The perception in Gary Johnson’s state is no different. His position as pluralist in his campaign work combined with party bosses of the Libertarian Party have continued to cement these policies,
The United Coalition USA has the correct election policy of pure proportional representation (PPR) on which to build and we have prohibited the business as usual of the single-winner district power grabs for more than twenty-three consecutive years.
The party bosses don’t want anyone to know because they want to fix the elections to where their own biased perceptions trump equal treatment and equal time for diverse candidates.
Party bosses want to snuff out potential better choices because “they already know everything”.
The party bosses want to retain plurality elections, engage in scatter shots and fights which will only perpetuate pluralism.
The United Coalition has a better idea and we’ve been using parliamentary procedures under PPR for more than twenty-three consecutive years and PPR works better than all other alternatives.
