About 700 in MI vote for Democratic presidential candidate over Internet

About 700 Michigan residents have chosen their candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination using their computer keyboards instead of a pen and paper, weeks before the Feb. 7 caucuses.

Michigan is the first state to use the Internet so extensively in its Democratic presidential selection process. Voters in the state have a monthlong window to cast their votes electronically.

Arizona offered Internet voting during its Democratic primary in 2000, but only for a few days before its caucuses.

Mark Brewer, executive chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party, said he expects about a third of all the votes cast will come online. Besides the Internet, voters also can mail in ballots they apply for ahead of time, or vote in person at one of 590 caucus sites on Feb. 7.

even though I applied for it on 1/1 or 1/2.

So I'm disgruntled so far.

If need be I'll go to a caucus voting site, but if people are applying and not receiving their material, they might say "screw it."

Why not e-mail them and find out what's up?
