New Mexico Senator Michael Sanchez (D-Belen), the Senate Majority Leader, has introduced SB 276, which restores the straight-ticket device. The bill says that only parties that have at least two statewide nominees would be entitled to the device. No party, other than the Democratic and Republican Parties, has had at least two statewide nominees on the ballot since 2002, when the Green Party was on for Governor-Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General.
