Michigan looked like an election day battleground over the past several days
, but Tuesday returned to a predictable quadrennial routine: Lines at
polling stations across the state prove that voters are tuned into the
presidential election.
The contest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton is
driving most of the ballot interest across the U.S., despite a two-sided
ballot in many Michigan communities, which also have races for the state
legislature, school boards, county leadership and municipal offices in
addition to local ballot issues.
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said absentee ballot returns are up 9
percent over typical elections, which tend to attract about two-thirds of
Michigan's registered voters.
That indicates that Michigan could generate a record turnout for today's
vote, coming after the most contentious presidential election showdown in
memory.
What was your poll experience today?
Very long lines.
Moderate lines.
Not much of a wait.

Gov. Rick Snyder cast his ballot Tuesday morning in Ann Arbor. He encouraged
more of the state's voters to head to the polls.
"It looks like this precinct has had a lot of people turn out. I hope that
happens throughout Michigan," Snyder said. "It's one of our basic democratic
rights and it's great seeing people exercise that."
Poll-watchers are keeping track of voting in many areas, including
Department of Justice workers who are monitoring the votes in Detroit,
Hamtramck and Dearborn.
Long lines dominated many regional voting reports across the state. They
included polling sites in Grand Rapids, where Trump campaigned late Monday -
after stops in multiple other states.
"If we don't win, this will be the single greatest waste of time, energy and
money in my life," Trump told his audience of several thousand. Hours
earlier, Clinton campaigned nearby in Allendale, at Grand Valley State
University.
In Ann Arbor, where President Barack Obama campaigned Monday for Clinton,
some voters reported waiting up to two hours to vote Tuesday in the city's
westside areas. Some other precincts had no wait at about noon.
Detroit voters found both long lines and some issues in polling places,
including a report via Twitter that two-hour waits in Midtown, generated in
part by poll disorganization, prompted some voters to leave. There also were
some reports of ballot outages.
And at least one type of poll malfunction: "Detroit voter's hand stuck in
ballot machine on east side. Firefighters en route," read a Tweet from Motor
City Muckraker.
Things turned heated in Ypsilanti Township, southeast of Ann Arbor, where
two voters got into an altercation about their respective candidates. A man
ended up shoving one woman, with another woman spitting at people after a
group of 5-6 people started to yell.
"It got out of hand," witness David Irvin said. "I thought it was really
rather embarrassing."

Polls will be open until 8 p.m. today, with everyone in line at that point
still able to vote - no matter how late that keeps the final count in
Michigan open-ended.
Michigan is considered a "blue," or Democratic-voting state, but the
presence of both presidential candidates, the sitting president, and a host
of surrogates on the day before the national vote signals potential changes
in voting patterns.

Here are some highlights of county-by-county Michigan election data from
1980-2012, illustrated by interactive maps of each presidential election
year.
Frankenmuth, located in mid-Michigan, is expecting about 80 percent turnout
today.
"We've had a lot of young voters, which is nice to see," said city clerk
Phillip Kerns. "And a lot of early voters coming in."
A few miles north in Bridgeport Township, deputy clerk Lisa Shaw said that
community could end up setting a record this year.
"We've never really been this busy," she told MLive.com. "Ever." | X*******G
