Todd Rokita. What an embarrassment.
Rokita’s only concern is winning the nomination. If he does that, his win in the primary election is guaranteed.
Rokita might be a fool but show me the down ballot Republican whose incompetence has cost them anything more than 3-4% in the vote totals. The Indiana Democratic Party simply doesn’t have the ability to win statewide elections.
Indiana is only one of six (6) States that permit straight ticket voting: Those states are Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina. Since 2006, twelve states have rescinded their straight ticket voting.
If you want to address a NUMBER of deficiencies in our electoral process, get rid of straight ticket voting. If it is too much effort to know the candidates, and to make the selections for down ballot candidates, then your straight ticket “vote” for down ballot candidates shouldn’t be a factor in determining who is elected . And if you REALLY want to stir things up, get rid of party affiliation designations on the ballots… people might actually have to be knowledgeable (at least to know the candidate they want to elect), rather than just mindlessly pick the party lever…
Interesting idea to get rid of party affiliations designations. I like it!
Definitely straight ticket voting should be abandoned.
