2. Very few states even allow straight-ticket voting

Only 15 do. I'm glad you heard someone who decided to think each race (and I hope he was picking the Democrats for the races that counted!).

Today, I wish our state allowed straight-ticket voting. Our ballot was super-long and it got very tedious. In addition to all the state and federal offices and Cook County offices and Water Reclamation District (pick three!) and judicial vacancies, plus a significant number of referenda, there were an additional 73 judicial retention choices. I probably should have just marked the 6 NO votes I had and left the others blank, but I felt I needed to mark each one for yes or no. It took a really really long time to finish connecting all those arrows!
