What do you think about a straight-party voting option?
Asked at Lawrence Public Library on January 29, 2015
“I think it encourages people to look at party labels only and not at the actual attributes of the candidates. I think it would make it impossible to elect Democrats and moderate Republicans in this state.”
— Moti Rieber, clergy, Overland Park
“I don’t like the idea. I like the option to choose.”
— Todd Segraves, customer service, Lawrence
