Between my readers and this roundup of accounts from the Detroit Free Press, it appears that turnout is light in Michigan this morning.

Kristen: “There were only 42 voters in my corner of Ottawa country by 8:45. No one else came in to vote while I was there.”

Mary Ann: “I voted shortly after 9 a.m. this morning. I live in a southern Oakland County suburb that invariably votes 80 percent Democrat, 20 percent Republican. I was voter number 29 and the tenth person to request a Republican ballot. The sample is too small to draw any definitive conclusions, but it suggests to me that the crossover vote may not be too large. FWIW.”

The Free Press will continue the updates, but usually there’s three rushes during the day – morning before work, lunch break, and after work. If the morning was quiet, maybe the rushes later in the day will be bigger… or maybe folks won’t be showing up at all.
