I arrived in Rogers City on Saturday night and read in the current issue of the weekly local newspaper, The Presque Isle Advance, founded in 1878, that the accuracy tests for the voting machines would be held at city hall this morning and the public could attend.
So, I went. I was the only member of the public there. The machines are all new not like the vintage number in the photo at left. The process had already begun by the time I arrived. All fourteen township clerks were there putting the machines through a variety of processes ending with the locking of the machines.
The Michigan primary is February 28. It's an open primary. The election officials are planning for a large number of usually Democratic Party voters asking for Republican Party ballots. It could be an interesting night. Lots of Michiganders liked George Romney when he was Govenor in the 1960's.
