I know. I discovered, to my horror, that Alabama has the option to mark all Republicans on the top of the ballot and then you turn it in.

That was the only time I've ever made a political speech in my classrooms. I taught college students many of whom were voting for the first time. I told them they needed to vote and I really didn't care how they voted EXCEPT I felt it was an abdication of responsibility to check the Republican or Democrat box at the top of the ballot and turn it in. The least we can do is actually mark each person's name or position that we're voting for.
