Michigan turnout rates for Dems?

[Muttocracy]

I saw earlier reports (before debate started) saying turnout was low overall. Anyone heard numbers, compared to 2004 or vs. the GOP turnout?

Seems with the weather, low turnout, mixture of candidates on and off ballot, unknown # of spoiled write-ins.... Does MI result tell us anything? other than Clinton has a substantial # of supporters there?

I know there are exit polls but who knows what they mean either??

1. No Clear Answer, Sir

Michigan does not maintain Party registrations: registered voters present themselves at the polling place and request a party ballot on primary day.

Total turn out was between 15 and 20 percent, with about 30 percent of that requesting a Democratic ballot. Assuming a roughly equal split between the two parties in the state, that would be about one in ten on our side.

something I read earlier today had an elderly lady volunteer saying it was sad how so few people were turning out given the time and money that went into it all :(
