Final answer:

The party column ballot is more likely to produce a 'straight ticket' as it allows voters to choose all of a party's candidates by checking a single box or pulling a single lever.

Step-by-step explanation:

The party column ballot is more likely to produce a 'straight ticket'.

Political parties prefer party column ballots because these ballots make it easy to choose candidates only from a particular party. Some of these ballots even allow voters to choose all of a party's candidates by checking a single box, or pulling a single lever, a practice called straight-ticket voting. Party column ballots group the candidates by party, allowing voters to easily select all candidates from their preferred party.
