Mich. clerks say too late for Jan. 15

LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan's county clerks said
Tuesday it's too late to guarantee that absentee
voters will have enough time to apply for ballots
and return them on time for a Jan. 15 primary.

The Michigan Association of County Clerks said it
wanted to pull the plug on the contest, now less
than 60 days away. The group is concerned about
ensuring ballots for absentee voters such as
military members serving overseas, the elderly and
the disabled.

"Unless Santa and his reindeer are prepared to
deliver the ballots, it will be virtually impossible
to get absentee ballots to everyone who requests
one for the Jan. 15 primary," Saginaw County Clerk
Sue Kaltenbach, who will become the association's
president in January, said in a release.

1. The DNC has succeeded in disenfranchising Michigan. Yay for minority rule! nt

2. And we living in Michigan are pissed off enough as it is considering the economy here.

How fun that we won't even have a voter say in who the parties nominees will be.

Well, there is always Unity08 I guess... :/
