The only one I was sure of was Richard Bernstein.

When I first opened the ballot, I was a bit confused about the Straight Party ticket since there were two columns of them. I had to think twice about does my checking Democratic Party also include the second column? I wonder if some people will be confused. I wonder what happens if you choose Straight Party but then fill in the ovals in the second column for all Dems? Does your ballot get thrown out?

Just thinking in terms of people who aren't as politically aware as some of us.
