<u>Answer:</u> Option a
<u>Explanation:</u>
“Straight-ticket voting” is when voters give all their votes to representative of one political party which is just reverse of “Split-ticket voting” where voters vote for multiple parties in an election. Therefore it is viewed as alternative to straight-ticket voting.
In 1984 election following are the factors which resulted into loss for Democratic judges due to straight-ticket voting :
- Only when the disparity between the straight party vote for the two parties widened was the effect of straight party vote on candidate success considerable.
- The variation between the two parties in direct party voting forces the candidate of the minority party to pursue independent voters aggressively.
- A particularly strong straight-for-party vote in favor of one party can make the difference with independent voters almost impossible for a judicial candidate to make up.
- The body of fully independent voters most open to judicial candidates campaign efforts is quite small.
