The state Supreme Court wants more information about a lawsuit seeking to restore a straight party ticket voting option. 

The court ordered the secretary of state to submit a written response to the lawsuit, which was filed Thursday by the state Democratic Party. The justices directed Democrats to submit additional written legal arguments and to outline what effect it would have in the election if the straight ticket option was allowed now that absentee voting has started in the general election. 
The responses are due by Tuesday. The court hasn't decided yet whether to hold a hearing in the case.
