Oakland County clerkโs office holds demonstration of election integrity
PONTIAC, Mich. โ Oakland County officials are testing election security, and election workers are testing for every possible way to fill out a ballot to make sure nothing is out of place before Election Day. We have so many checks and balances in place in Michigan,โ said Oakland County clerk Lisa Brown. Millions have already cast their ballots, and county clerks are working to be able to prepare their counts one day early. Election officials are also warning to get ballots in as soon as possible or even drop them off in person so the count can get underway on Nov. 3. My staffโs done an incredible job to find the most efficient process, and I think weโll be OK,โ Brown said.
