Supreme Court Rules On Primary In Unopposed Races
Michigan Supreme Court rules that counties with only one petitioned candidate for an office will skip the primary and place that candidate on the general election ballot. Justice Bied writes that the primary is abolished where no opposition exists, per legislators' intent. The ruling follows a dispute from Calhoun County regarding certification of a lone candidate for circuit judge.
