More than 3 million Michigan voters are expected to cast ballots Tuesday in the mid-term elections.
The Michigan Public Radio Network’s Rick Pluta reports.
Now that the campaigning is pretty much done, the candidates and political parties are working on voter turnout, and what’s called “ballot security.”
State Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson.
“We have to do a good job of protecting the vote once the votes have been cast,” he says.
That includes monitoring polling places and being ready for legal challenges, says state Republican Chairman Bobby Schostak.
“We are connected through the internet, through the cellular lines, what have you, to our ‘war room,’ to the legal firms that are helping us in the event of a challenge,” he says.
Absentee ballots will also be closely watched. That’s especially true in cases where the final vote totals are very close.
