Where can I find out primary ballot?

[fernweh]

The Michigan primary is next week. I want to see a copy of the ballot or at least what is on it so I can research ahead of time. Is there a website that has all the candidates?

I am in Michigan, and my township has a sample primary ballot on-line.

There are a few generic voter guide sites out there but YMMV. I'd check your state's election website, and any local newspapers.

Not sure if this is a good place to ask. In my county, there are no democrats on the primary that are worth voting for (not that I won't vote for them but it is more of 1 person running in a section that you can select 1). How do we feel about voting for the most palatable on the red side? Any tips on finding the one that doesn't suck the most?

I think you'd just need to go to their websites and read through their positions on various issues. It's possible someone has already done that work for you - check your local paper, a lot of times they'll do writeups on candidates or might even have interviews you can listen to.

You may also want to check whether the Republican Party in your state allows people who are not registered Republicans to vote in the primary. That's not always the case.
