Vote NO on the November 3rd
Massachusetts Ballot Referendum

The Massachusetts Ballot takes away your
right to vote a straight party ticket with a
single lever or a single X. It forces you to vote
separately for each candidate.

Your present Michigan Free-Choice Ballot gives
you a choice of voting individually for candi-
dates—or voting a straight party ticket simply
by pulling one lever or marking one X.

The Massachusetts Ballot can do nothing but
confuse voters. That's why It's opposed by top
political scientists and elections officials.
