Last week, I registered to vote in PA (Butler County). A question..

[liberaltrucker]

Is it possible to vote a straight party ticket without
checking every Dem candidate. I could when I lived
in Alabama and saved a LOT of time. Thanks in advance!

1. I am a Pennsylvanian but in a different county, but the short answer is

YES!

4. Yep, you can.

But make sure that it works ok. Ever since the first year they used the machines, I have gone through the whole ballot because they had some problems with candidates not getting votes when people marked straight tickets. I am sure that they have fixed this glitch, but I don't trust them. Also, there are some positions, like US Rep, that don't have a Democratic candidate (Mike fucking Kelly is unopposed). When that happens, I like to write in someone. Anyone. I just have to make sure that I register my dissatisfaction at having no choice.

I believe that you are in the 3rd Congressional District as well (I am north of you). Opposing Mike Kelly is a write in campaign (or at least there was one but it didn't go far). Write in "Ron DiNicola" from Erie unless someone else comes out.

5. There definitely has been issues with straight ticket voting,

where 'glitches' allowed the down ballot ticket votes to register, and failed to register a vote for the top ticket candidate.
