The 2.47 million of Michigan's 7.4 million voters would translate to 34 percent turnout, up from 19.7 percent in 2012 and the highest since before 1980, according to the Secretary of State's website.

( . . . ) In Detroit, about 20 percent of voters participated, up from 8 percent in 2012 and 14 percent in 2008, said Daniel Baxter, the city's elections director.

He attributed the increase to national attention on the primary, including the Democratic debate in Flint and the Republican one in Detroit.

Eight per cent. You'd think all those black voters would have shown up to support their glorious leader!

Democracy sure ain't what it usedta be!

They didn't just drink the Kool-Aid, they made it with water from Flint.
