Michigan sets primary turnout record. Thanks voters!

More than 2 million Michigan voters went to the polls on Tuesday, setting an all-time state record for turnout in a primary election.

The electorate shattered the former high water mark of 1.7 million voter turnout in the 2002 primary, according to preliminary results.

Wow! What an achievement!

AARP Michigan would like to thank everyone who turned out to vote and also those who responded to our Be the Difference. Vote effort on social media, radio, TV and other media outlets.

We want to put out the call now for a repeat performance in the general election on Nov. 6. Let’s set another Michigan election turnout record!

Government is broken: Politicians don't seek common ground. They cast insults instead of creating results. It’s time for politicians to put voters first and get to work.

Issues Matter: Critical issues like Medicare, Social Security, caregiving and our financial security are all on the line.

No more messing around: Use your vote to hold the politicians accountable and make them pay attention to the issues that really matter to you.

Go have your say: Every vote counts -- including yours. Be the difference. Vote.
