The time is now to cram for monster ballot

If you're planning to vote in tomorrow's election and you haven't done your homework, it's time to cram.
 
The ballot questions facing voters are so complicated, some voters might wish they could consult an economist or an attorney to make sense of them.
 
Vince Keenan is with the voter education Web site publius.org. He says many voters also may not know what groups are behind each question, "the sort of back story as to who's behind what is the sort of information that any staffer in the halls of the Legislature would have readily at their disposal, but voters don't."
 
Voters can look at their ballots ahead of time at the publius Web site.
 
There they can also view video clips that analyze ballot questions, along with a few hundred candidate videos from districts scattered across the state.

Sarah Hulett is Michigan Public's Director of Amplify & Longform, helping reporters to do their best work.
