I saw this poll on the Kentucky Post and thought it was interesting.

 

Should Kentucky eliminate straight-ticket voting at the ballot box?

Yes.

I said no, because I think you'd also have to eliminate party designations by the voter's name. Then most of the voters would be really confused!

I assumed you meant the button at the top that said straight vote. That should be done away with.

I don't even think that you should have the party next to the name.

I tend to agree.

I don't think we should have parties period.

I agree.

 

I also strongly believe that all county races should be non-partisan.

While I don't ever vote straight party, I would have to ask what the harm is in having it?

I don't like the idea of a voter choosing on account of the party, there are a number of voters out there who don't care about the issues but blindly vote according to party at all times. By eliminating that, and eliminating the party identification on the ballot entirely, you don't make that kind of thing as easy.

SO would we next quiz them on their current issues knowledge before allowing them to vote?

I agree with cshs81, (God help me),.

 

If voters are going to guess and just pull a lever, at the very least voting for a party affiliation gives them a chance at selecting someone who more closely agrees with their values or requirements.
