Just saw a disturbing statistic

[llmart]

There were 639,144 votes for Trump in the primary in Michigan.

That's way too many to suit me.

1. Were there any candidates, other than trump*, on the republican ballot?

All I had on my Democratic ballot was the presidential primary and one millage issue.

[samnsara]

6. just trump* was the only GOP candidate...

..dems got just as many but the vote was obviously split

[llmart]

8. There actually were.

Uncommitted 28,383 4%
Bill Weld 6,081 0%
Mark Sanford 4,256 0%
Joe Walsh 4,056

14. I mean 'down ticket'

I know John James is going to take another run for the Senate, against Gary Peters but I have no idea if he's the only one, or who, in the GOP, is going to waste their time and money running against my congressman, Dan Kildee.

12. Republican primary would have been a separate ballot.

I had two millage issues on mine. Both passed.

[Siwsan]

15. Yes, I know that, being in Michigan. I just wondered about GOP down ticket candidates

I meant to look at the GOP ballot and totally forgot!

2. 1.4 million democratic votes cast so i'm not seeing ANY reason to be concerned

[llmart]

10. We weren't concerned in 2016 either.

I still think that's an awful lot of stupid voters in Michigan for my liking.

[beachbumbob]

13. michigan was going to be problematic becasue of how much support sanders got and then his

hammering on Hillary breeding the bernie bro movement, no 2016 was going to be a problem because of that and it was. No such thing will happen in 2020, biden will kill trump in Novemebr

3. Axios had a taping on HBO, shown tonight, of trumper group. Righteous,

old, complacent, not too far-sighted, loyal, trumpers.

Bothersome.

[samnsara]

4. but that was the only candidate...still thats too much hate..

[llmart]

11. See my post #8

n/t

[John Fante]

5. Biden got 839k.

Democrats overall saw a 31% increase in turnout over 2016, a substantial increase.

[Cattledog]

7. There were 1,566,320 votes for Democratic Presidential candidates

Biden alone got 838,564

[llmart]

9. Yes, but you have to remember that a lot of Republicans didn't vote in the primary.

Because they figured their guy was the only one running (he wasn't). We don't know how many there will be in November.
