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.
