It appears that Matt Morgan, the only Democrat running for Michigan’s U.S. House seat, First District, has easily polled enough write-ins in the August 7 primary to become the Democratic nominee in November. It is very rare for anyone to receive enough write-ins in a Michigan primary to be deemed nominated. The law requires the number of write-ins to equal 5% of the number of voters who participate in that party’s primary.

No one was on the Democratic primary ballot for U.S. House in the First District, which includes the Upper Peninsula. Morgan expected to be on the ballot but his petition had a flaw, so no one was on the Democratic primary ballot for that seat. So his campaign asked voters to cast a write-in, and it appears he has as many as 30,000, far more than the approximately 5,000 he needed. See this story.
