Original Message If you just vote a straight Republican ticket in NC
you will not vote for Gov. Romney for President

See election law at [link to www.ncvoter.net]

If using the "straight ticket" option on your ballot - vote in three steps:

1. Vote for Governor Romney for president
2. Vote Straight ticket option
3. Then vote for Judicial Contests and local non partisan contests.

NC is the only state in the US where straight ticket voting does not count for President. Our state has one of the highest undervote rates for President in the Country
