Communities throughout the county are reporting record numbers of absentee ballots. Hopefully at some point the law will be changed where you can have an absentee for no reason. Green Oak Township Clerk Marlyne McKim agreed with Ward and went a step farther. People in my own profession tend to disagree with me because they are concerned with voter fraud. If you are vigilant enough I don't think it should be a problem.
People are more interested in voting because they are voting for the president.
Genoa Township Clerk Paulette Skolarus said the county's remarkable growth rate may also be contributing to the high number of absentee ballots. She has received about 2,200 as well, with only about 10,000 registered voters in the township. I think we've had some in local races where individual townships have had that turnout before, but not countywide.
