Sen. Wentworth to push, again, for ending straight-ticket voting - poorly reasoned. The example they use to justify their argument contradicts their contention on both ends. First, the "bad" candidate was elected in a Primary where there IS NO straight-ticket voting demonstrating the folly of the idea put forth that not having straight-ticket voting would somehow improve the choices made by voters. And then, after talking about how GOP straight-ticket voting was dominant in this election, the so-called "bad" candidate, a Republican did NOT win on the November ballot where straight-ticket voting existed. Their sole example used to justify the contention put forth disproves their argument. What a bunch of intellectual light weights - RINO Wentworth included.
