STV banned in 40 states but we can't ban it cuz blacks like it?!!-----Straight ticket voting to remain an option, federal judge rules | MLive.com

Straight ticket voting (STV) to remain an option, federal judge rules | MLive.com:
"U.S. District Court Judge Gershwin Drain wrote in a 103-page opinion that the law, passed by a Republican-led Legislature, discriminates against black voters, who vote straight ticket at higher percentages than white voters.

Read all.

This is nuts!
