I live in southwestern Michigan. The voting turnout was low. I was one of those mischevious voters that crossed over and voted for Santorum. Of course, I don't like him at all, but don't want romney to take Michigan!
I don't know why there was any confusion with the ballot, except you had to check which party ballot you wanted. That will not affect future voting in November.
