I didn't check the straight party option, but after going through the ballot and marking my marks, I just as well have.As I was voting today, I began to wonder, how many people actually use the straight party voting?
....bear with me, this is my very first poll.
I'll go a step further and say we need to abolish political parties all together. They serve no purpose other than to stifle those who oppose their power structure.
Anyone who votes straight party is letting someone else do his thinking.
