LANSING, Mich. A federal judge has ruled that Michigan must count provisional ballots cast by voters who show up at the wrong polling precincts but are in the right city, township or village.

U-S District Judge David Lawson issued an injunction today barring Republican Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land from ordering election officials to NOT count provisional ballots unless voters appear in the right precinct.

Provisional, or backup, ballots are used when voters say they are properly registered but their names do NOT appear on the voter registration rolls.

And when I get stopped on the highway there, I'll just get a provisional driver's license from the cop, and when I try to get back into this country from abroad, I'll use my provisional passport that they'll give me at Immigration.

What a great country!
