Democrat: Voters Are Too Stupid to Fill Out Ballots

Old-timers will remember that in 1972, Democrats tried to overturn Henry Bellmon's narrow win over Ed Edmondson for U. S. Senate, on the grounds that Tulsa's newfangled voting machines lacked a way to vote straight party -- to "stamp the rooster" -- disadvantaging Democrats.

'The Democratic secretary of state in New Mexico thinks voters are incapable of filling out their ballot without help.

'Maggie Toulouse Oliver penned an editorial in the Albuquerque Journal advocating for the return of straight-ticket voting, which would allow voters to check one box, such as Democrat, and vote for every Democrat on the ballot....

'Oliver argues picking the candidates voters want is "long and complicated," and therefore they need to be told who to vote for based on party.

'She said having voters choose every candidate they are voting for is "voter suppression."'
