Host Phil Tower focuses on elections and preparing for election day with Kent County Clerk/Register of Deeds Lisa Posthumus-Lyons on this week's program.
We devoted the whole program to discussing voting, preparing for elections, and the issue of election integrity.
Posthumus-Lyons made it clear that she and her team with the clerk's office have been working overtime to assure that she and her team with the clerk's office have been working overtime to ensure that this general election on November election on November 5 runs smoothly and accurately.
She also told us that election transparency is a priority for her and her team and that every Kent County voter should trust the voting process.
Posthumus-Lyons told us that she wants the election process to be accessible to the public. She even invited county residents to watch the testing of voting machines and ask any additional questions about the process.
She recently told WOOD TV 8, “We’re inserting a number of ballots into the tabulator to ensure that it counts what it’s supposed to count, that it doesn’t count what it’s not supposed to. So, if a voter makes a mistake or overvotes, we want to give the voter that option to correct their ballot,” he said. “…The public can see and observe that whole process.”
71% of Michigan adults 18 and over participated in the 2020 presidential election, which is the highest percentage since the 1960 presidential election (Kennedy vs. Nixon)
We also discussed absentee ballots and early in-person voting with Lisa Posthumus-Lyons. She stressed the importance of getting ballots in on time, especially for absentee ballot voters. She recommended dropping the ballots off at the township ballot boxes and not mailing them to ensure that they are received on time and counted.

Request ballot deadline: Nov 1 by 5:00 p.m. EDT
