I'm a registered Michigan voter, but I live in England now (still registered as Michigan, because I'm over on a student visa), so I don't keep as close track of these things as I would otherwise, but I do listen to michigan public radio over the internet at least a few times a week, and haven't heard it mentioned. I think they're hoping that people will still come out for the primary and they'll some how win over the national party and get some delegates, but I doubt it. They're pushing for people whose candidates aren't on the ballot to vote "uncommitted", which should award uncommitted delegates - maybe your mom could do that. I should ask what my parents and brother are planning to do. I didn't get an absentee ballot, because, even if delegates are eventually awarded, it wouldn't mean much without all of the names on the ballot. What worries me is that the republicans are still having their primary, and this could be a flip of what we saw regarded turnout for the two parties in Iowa. This may just make otherwise independent or Democratic voters vote in the republican primary, and then feel committed to that candidate, should they become the nominee.
