You can vote a straight ticket ballot in November. Maybe.
A federal judge is blocking the Michigan law that banned straight party voting.
But, Attorney General Bill Schuette and Secretary of State Ruth Johnson will appeal the decision, probably early next week.

Ken Sikkema joined us today to give us some background on the law that banned straight-ticket voting in Michigan, and whether he thinks Judge Drain's block will stand.
