Are there states that have GE voting one party only?

1. What does that mean?

General Elections are not Primaries; any registered voter can vote for any candidate.

5. My best guess at a translation ...

"Which states offer automatic 'straight-party' voting?"

12. Wiki

That wikipedia article isn't comprehensive. PA voters can vote straight-ticket, for example. Here is a sample ballot:

14. Indiana changed their straight-ticket law

Straight-ticket does not apply to at-large races. Has to be selected separately.

2. Question

I don't understand the question. Can you rephrase it?

3. I "heard that some states have one party voting only

even for general election ballots. I was wonder which ones and if this is true. Yes, I understand the primaries are one party voting.

7. Early on there were discussions if the presidential candidates would be on all the ballots, but

that has since changed. I know of no state where, for example, Hillary and Trump are not on the ballots. I don't know about Johnson and Stein.

4. They're on all the ballots. Sometimes in the local ballots there is only one choice,

because only one person is running for an office, but for the GE at the presidential level, of course, there will be choices.

10. In Texas you can vote straight ticket. It's the 1st choice on the ballot.

If you don't chose to do that then you can vote for each candidate by name. Normally I don't vote that way but look at each candidate and only vote for the Democrat. This time I just said the Hell with that and voted straight ticket. If you have to ask- yes Democratic.

15. I read somewhere some states have eliminated the option...

So best to look at a ballot beforehand.
