There are two ways to vote a "straight ticket," which means you vote for only Democrats or only Republicans. You can go down the ballot and vote for everyone from that party, or you can check the "straight ticket" box and have the same thing happen.

The reason this is done is a lot of people vote for Democrats for every elected office, then vote Republican for president.
