be found. Among them are Hudson
township, Charlevoix county; Maple
Forest township, Crawford county;
West Branch township. Dickinson
s county; and Caseville township, Hu-
ron county. Blue Lake township, Kal-
n kaska county, has a population of 20
n by the 1930 census, yet has 27 regis-
tered voters and employed five elec-
tion officers at $5 each. The report
r here says, "It is obvious . . . that
- election pay-rolls are largely padded
- with political appointees who are paid
n at rates far above anything to be
found in comparable employment."
Law Names Maximum
e The state law permits a maximum
y of 650 voters to a precinct where bal-
lots are used, and 800 where voting
y machines are used, yet in the 1932
o elections more than the maximum
d number voted in 740 precincts in
, Michigan. The violations were gen-
eral throughout the state. Theyoc-
f curred in 235 Detroit precincts, but
the situation has since been corrected
n there.
i The report also mentions that some
2 precincts contain so few voters as to
h make secret voting impossible, and
recommends that the statute be
amended to permit the inclusion of
e several townships or a village and a
township or townships into a single
precinct.
d It states also a provision requiring
a voting booth for every 100 persons
r is flagrantly violated. The violations
occur in 46 per cent of the twonships,
37 per cent of the cities, and 35 per
cent of the villages. They are to be
t found in 577 precincts, of which 425
are in the townships.
. Use of the voting machine, now em-
ployed in 11 ciites and one township,
is recommeided both as a means of
producing efficiency and cutting costs.
