You can vote drunk; all you need to do is be able to recognize the R or D
Sen. McCoy is carrying a bill this session allowing state liquor stores to stay open on election day. A Republican Senator joked, what if he had a little too much and voted for a Democrat? Don't worry though, as long as you are sober enough to recognize the R or D you know what you are getting, right? That was the argument in ANOTHER Senate committee. Direct nonpartisan elections of State School Board officials was shot down. They want the R or D, so you know what you are getting. We are not smart enough to do a little research and find out for ourselves. We need candidates to pick a side. Are you for vouchers or against them? For sex education or abstinence only? Are you an R or a D? Wow, I would hate to vote for the individual instead of the party. So have a drink and head down to vote, you can hit that straight party button at the beginning and be on your way comfortably knowing you voted for all the best candidates.

absolutely correct you are. my wife and I have successfully gotten her parents to stop voting a straight party line of R's and begin looking at the candidates. we'll keep working on that one family at a time.
Why not do both? I like having the R and D (it tells you things about a candidate that they may not be willing to say), but I know that their voting records are even more revealing.
