There was a time, not even 10 years ago, where I would research every partisan race on the ballot to make my decision. Not any more, and not until a lot changes. At least voting straight party makes it quicker to vote since I just have the judges, school board, and proposals left.
Through all that, grateful for the right to an accessible ballot and to the Kalamazoo city poll workers who have always known what to do,, and for early voting and same-day registration, which Michiganders voted into the constitution a few years ago.
