LIVE CHAT: Michigan Primary 2012

Watch and participate in a live chat throughout the day and night as voters head to the polls to vote on Republican presidential candidates and local issues.

Today is primary day in Michigan, when voters mark their ballots with their choice for who should run for president of the United States in November. 

Republican hopefuls Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum headed into Tuesday's primary race neck and neck, trailed by several other candidates on the GOP ticket. President Barack Obama is the sole candidate on the Democrats' ballot. The Dems will caucus for their candidate May 5.

There are some local issues on the ballots, too, such as a school bond proposal in Ferndale and a millage request in Clawson.
