Feel free to add to this thread.



Edit: Michigan is holding an open primary. Anyone can vote, after showing picture ID, or signing an affidavit certifying that you are the registered voter you claim to be. You must choose a Republican or a Democratic ballot.

The candidates on the Democratic ballot are very limited due to Michigan jumping ahead of the accepted primary dates.
The choices are:

Clinton
Dodd
Gravel
Kucinich
Write-in
Uncommitted

Obama, Edwards, Biden, and Richardson withdrew their names after Michigan made the decision to jump ahead. Kucinich tried to withdraw his name, also, but filed too late, I believe. All candidates agreed not to campaign in the state before the primary, although Kucinich has appeared at several locations in the state. At this time Michigan Dem delegates will not be seated at the convention.

The Republican ballot is complete. At this time 50% of their delegates will be seated at their convention.

edited edit because I can't spell.
