State House Speaker Jase Bolger spent today campaigning with Governor Rick Snyder.

Bolger is facing a potentially close vote next Tuesday in his southern Michigan state House district.

Jase Bolger has been dogged by allegations his office violated state campaign finance laws, when he helped facilitate a last minute party switch by a west Michigan state lawmaker earlier this year.

If you're voting in Michigan next Tuesday, you'll be looking at a 'bedsheet ballot' with six statewide ballot proposals, and in all likelihood, several local initiatives as well.

And if you're a conscientious voter, you'll seek out the Supreme Court section of your ballot to pick your favorites.

There's no party affiliation listed, so if you typically vote along party lines you won't be helped here.

The other hitch is that there are two sections for the three seats available in this year's race for the Michigan Supreme Court (see above).

The reason?
