OK, Annarbor.com has had USEFUL information about the August 7 elections. Since I am a 47 year subscriber to the Ann Arbor News, and it's afterthoughts, I looked in the PRINT (obsolete?) edition of the local paper on Sunday for information about the elections today. ONE article, about the Republican primary for US Senator, where the issue is who can best appeal to the Tea Party conservatives. I needed information about candidates so I could be an INFORMED voter. Not in the annarbor.com PRINT edition. I am nearly 71, and do regularly get my online fix every day. BUT, why cannot we have useful information printed in the (sigh) two papers we pay to receive on Thursday and Sunday? Jim Thomson, voter and older person. PS. I believe that AA.com is biased against elderly people,who are not computer equipped. PSS. Please PRINT this on Thursday.

Enjoy your "choice" between party approved candidates, comrade citizen. The ruling party provides all comrade citizens of the Glorious People's Democratic Republic of Ann Arbor with choice between loyal party members. Rest assured that nothing will change regardless of which loyal party member you choose.

I just voted at Scarlett School. The workers could not figure out what precinct I was even in. I almost said the heck with it and not vote. Yes, I should have had my voters card with me. Okay, so I forgot it. Never needed it before! Maybe the workers need more training to look addresses up?

aren't you glad your potential "fraud" was avoided? good thing we have these draconian laws in place to prevent legitimate voters from participating.

Cindy, Superior Township Precinct 1 voters need to go to The Dixboro United Methodist Church @ 5221 Church Street and not the Township Hall on Prospect Road. This is new and is listed incorrectly in your Polling Places.

A poling place could be useful: Incumbents would stand for re-election at a place where citizens brought poles to express any dissatisfaction with their prior performance and encourage improvement.

Be sure to vote! If you don't vote, you can't complain about the decisions your neighbors made.

I see re: Heiftje "No Primary per City Charter", when was that passed? since 2000?

Does anyone know why Mayor Heiftje is not on the ballot? Other unopposed candidates are on the ballot for example Brian Mackie no Republican is running for prosecuting attorney. It does not make sense to me that the Mayor is not on the ballot.

Is viewing political adverts on my SmartPhone or tablet while within 100ft of the entrance of the polling place a civil infraction?

I once saw a nice-looking young lady with two campaign stickers on her rear end in a polling place. The poll workers were like "Oh, let it go."
