But there in spirit with the topsiders and pastel shirt I put aside to go to the reception, and the bagels I made for the early morning flight.

Carrie Levine @levinecarrie.bsky.social · Mar 10

@hayleyharding.bsky.social dug deep into the growing election workforce problem in the key swing state of Michigan. Read more @votebeat.org votebeat.org/michigan/202...

In communities across Michigan, it’s hard to find people to run elections

In Michigan, 90% of local clerks run unopposed. Some communities don’t even have a candidate for clerk on the ballot.

Carrie Levine @levinecarrie.bsky.social · Mar 10

In Michigan, death threats and a growing workload tied to elections are are discouraging people from running for clerk positions.

In the key swing state. 90% of clerk races in Michigan had only one candidate, and some small communities struggled to find anyone to run.
