Statement from House Democratic Leader Tim Greimel (D-Auburn Hills) on straight-ticket voting in the November election:

“The decision from the 6^th Circuit Court of Appeals today means that Michigan voters will keep the option to vote a straight ticket in November. This is a victory for Michigan citizens, who would have faced long lines and increased wait times at voting places had House Republicans succeeded in their efforts to discourage voting. Michiganders have always wanted the option to use straight-ticket voting, and have said so at the voting booth twice before. It’s time for Schuette and Snyder to listen to the people of our state and to end their attempts to make voting more difficult.”
