Guest:
Jocelyn Benson is the Secretary of State of Michigan. She says this year the state allows nine days of early voting, which means that 5,000 people have already voted at many different municipalities.
“This is the last day of voting for our localities that are all around the state having local elections this year,” said Benson.
