In the seriously confusing race to replace Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, reindeer herder Kerry Bentivolio won the Republican primary yesterday for the special election to complete the term McCotter ditched. Not many people bothered to vote. From the Detroit Free Press:
“My workers were texting me all day that they were so bored,” said Livonia City Clerk Terry Marecki, who said she initially thought about 10% of the city’s voters would cast ballots Wednesday, but ended up with only about 7%.
“I told them to bring their Kindles and their magazines to the precincts.”
In Novi, City Clerk Maryanne Cornelius said about 6% of the city’s voters turned out for the special election, most by absentee ballot.
