'Supreme Court rejects Michigan ban on straight-ticket voting'

"The Supreme Court on Friday refused to allow Michigan to ban voters from casting straight-ticket ballots in the coming election after lower courts found the prohibition was likely to discriminate against African Americans and result in long lines at the polls.

The justices declined to get involved in a political controversy that began when the state’s Republican leadership passed a bill to end 125 years of straight-ticket voting, which allows a voter to vote for all candidates of a desired party by taking a single action." WaPo
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...mepage%2Fstory

Another win for voters. Of course, Clarence Thomas and Alito would've allowed the ban to stay in place.

I was more pissed this crocked ass state kicked out all the signatures to get the legalizing of pot for this ballot.

That sucks. There's a good chance we're going to pass it out here in California this time with Prop 64.

I believe the chances are better than good if certain stock prices are any indication.

You think the pot heads will be able to find their way to the right polling places?

Perhaps, very slowly.

All we have to do is park a Taco truck outside the polling station.

With a taco truck on every corner, how will they find the right one?
