When voters hit the polls today, some were surprised to learn they could only vote a straight ticket; either Republican or Democrat.

Voter check-in is now all done by computer. At the end of the night, the list is printed off; a more accurate way to log voters' visits.
Reporting in Grand Traverse County, Sara Simnitch and Photojournalist, Jeremy Erickson.
