in Michigan. If it benefitted them, they wouldn't say a word. They claim voting straight ticket benefits Dems because Dems choose to do it more than idiot repugs.

Eliminating straight ticket voting slows down the voting process, especially in highly populated areas where voting machines are already in short supply either because of Republican meddling or economics.
