11 On the other hand, the complete separation of the vote for president from that for state and local officials is destroyed. Voters may now vote a straight ticket—national, state and local—with one mark in the party circle. This merging of the ballots will therefore undoubtedly increase the influence exerted by the national upon the state and local tickets.
