GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — From his perch in an elementary school gym during last month's Michigan primary, Grand Rapids City Clerk Joel Hondorp oversaw the electronic book of eligible voters, while first-time election workers Kimberly and Shayne Becher helped check people in and explain how to fill out ballots.
Kimberly, a 59-year-old counselor from Greenville, said she and her husband wanted to get involved "to learn how this all works," since neither is convinced that the 2020 presidential election hadn't been stolen.
"You just go to a Trump rally or go to a Biden rally, that will tell you … who won," said Shayne, a 53-year-old carpenter.
