This is the text from rendering a sample ballot from the state of Michigan's website, it specifically states its a closed primary, so are deems allowed to vote or no? The word closed is also in quotes? (I did not place quotes in the text below). Wonder if I will be turned away voting as a registered dem? And voting for Satanioum? Using the link below which generated this text:

"Special Information for Presidential Primary: The Presidential Primary to be held on February 28, 2012 will be conducted as a “closed” primary. The sample ballot below includes candidate information for both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. When you go to the polls on Election Day or apply for an absentee ballot, however, you must request either a Republican Party or a Democratic Party ballot which will include only the candidates of the party you select. If a special election is conducted in conjunction with the Presidential Primary, the special election information will appear on both the Republican and Democratic ballots. You will also have the option of selecting a ballot that excludes Presidential Primary information and includes only special election information."
