Bill Schuette shows he's using his position as a political stepping stone
I was a little surprised when Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette appealed the decision striking down the ban on straight-ticket voting to the U.S. Supreme Court. I knew, of course, that the attorney general wanted straight-ticket voting outlawed. He is a fiercely partisan Republican, and the GOP thinks with some reason that allowing straight-ticket voting hurts their candidates.
