Turnout Reportedly Low Across Michigan
By Eric Kleefeld - January 15, 2008, 2:12PM

Turnout in Michigan appears to be very light in today's primary, probably owing in part to the lack of any contested Democratic primary, and also on account of the snowy weather.

The Detroit Free Press reports that there is "little to no waiting" at the polls in the Detroit metro area. Over at the other end of the state, the Grand Rapids Press reports that area clerks are revising their own turnout estimates downward, from what were already low projections of around 20%.

2. Many people from MI were calling AAR last night

saying they are voting absentee and they are voting for Kucinich.
It was one call after another but I'm not surprised that the voter turnout may be low.

3. It's not the snow. It's not that bad. It's that our votes were taken away.

I'd be shocked if McCain didn't win, since I'm seeing and hearing a lot more of him in our area. Well, Ron Paul, too.

I was number 49 at lunchtime, and only one other voter walked in while I was there. Lowest I've ever seen.
