A recent decision made by the elections clerk in Michigan's third-largest city, Warren, has sparked concerns about a potential slowdown in reporting election night results in Macomb County. The county is a key target for both presidential campaigns and is home to a competitive congressional race.
The city clerk of Warren, who oversees elections in the city, has chosen not to utilize a new state law that permits election offices to begin processing mail-in ballots before Election Day. This law, which the majority of voting jurisdictions in Michigan are taking advantage of, allows for the verification of signatures and other identifying information to start eight days early.
