Two bills have been introduced in the Indiana legislature to abolish the straight-ticket device. They are HB 1218 by Representative Ed Clere (R-New Albany) and HB 1133 by Representative Cory Criswell (R-Middletown).
Also there is a bill to expand the existing straight-ticket device to include local at-large partisan elections, and school board elections. Those offices are currently not included in the device, which leads to confusion. That bill is HB 1377 by Representative Zach Payne (R-Charlestown).
Yes, they want to ban the straight ticket voting option. It works, especially for seniors, and they want to ban it. That’s government for you!!
@MS,
Why do you believe it works “for seniors”? How old are you?
