13. Looks like someone is playing illegal word games, in Michigan government

Traditionally the MI primary is open. But somebody on the MI gov. election web site though, is trying to imply it is not. However? They can't really do that without violating rules. So they put it in quotes: this primary is "'closed,'" they claim.

If called on this, probably they will say that they merely ment that you cannot vote for/in BOTH the Republican section, AND the Democrat section too? Does that seem to fit here? But the wording is in fact, highly misleading and prejudicial.

Thanks for noting this. See if you can document it/copy it. Then call the biggest liberal TV station in MI, with the story. Quick.

This looks like a dirty trick by someone in MI government.

By the way? Santorum himself is apparently urging Democrats to vote for him, in the Republican primary section.
