Democrats encouraged by record-setting Michigan turnout

Michigan’s turnout for the Primary Election set a record, with nearly 1.6 million people casting ballots on the Democratic side Tuesday.

It was 380,000 more than voted in 2016, an increase of 31%.

Michigan Democratic Party Chairwoman Lavora Barnes says Democratic voters are ready to hold President Donald Trump accountable in the November election.

Turnout was down on the Republican side, though that was expected since Trump faced no serious challenge.
