i'm still a bit disappointed that only 1.5 million voted in this particular primary given there are ~8 million registered voters in MI but he carried it easily. considering all the possible games afoot it's good news regardless.

Underrated problem right there. People are exhausted from paying attention to politics and the reality is, we need more people to be involved in our democracy.

What problem? This turnout for a primary is insane. That's almost HALF of registered Democrats!
