NC ballot for "straight party" does NOT include presidential race.

Posted in the NC forum too, but was afraid it might not get seen there.
So please indulge me while I post it in the "big" forum too. . . .

Hey folks, I'm not sure if it's always been the case . . . but I just got my Democratic Voter Guide in the mail today. And noticed that the "straight party" option will NOT include a vote for president. So stay alert and tell all your friends!

I'm volunteering as a greeter for the Democrats during early voting in Hillsborough, and I'm going to make a point of alerting people that they've got to vote for president, 'cause checking straight party won't do it.

2. Thankfully voters make the choice for President before the straight ticket choice

3. Please! You've got to alert the local democratic party and get that changed!

This is not OK. This is more election fraud.

thousands upon thousands of people are going to think they voted Obama but not have their votes count because of this!
