Federal judge blocks Michigan's new ban on straight-party voting
A disproportionate burden is filling in a bunch of circles or punching a bunch of chads?
DETROIT (AP) - A judge on Thursday blocked Michigan's new ban on straight-party voting, saying it's a direct strike on the rights of blacks in big cities who tend to vote for Democrats with a single mark on the ballot.
U.S. District Judge Gershwin Drain signed an injunction, a week after hearing arguments. He says the law would place a "disproportionate burden" on blacks in the fall election, the first election that would be affected.

My voting station uses the ballots where I have to fill in the arrows.
Do a lot of people vote straight tickets these days?
