Romney Country: Farmington, Farmington Hills Support Michigan Native

Farmington and Farmington Hills residents helped former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney to a Republican primary win in Michigan today. 

The Associated Press and NBC called the race for the Michigan native after 10 p.m. this evening. 

Turnout in Farmington precincts in today's presidential primary ranged from a little over 18 percent to 30 percent.

City Clerk Sue Halberstadt said there were no voting issues, and the turnout across the city was "relatively light". 

"There was nothing about today that was remarkable," she said. 

All precincts voted solidly for Mitt Romney, with the vast majority of voters supporting Romney, Rick Santorum or Ron Paul. The largest number of Democratic ballots, 103, were cast in precinct 2; in the rest, Democrats cast fewer than 60 votes.
