Early in-person voting has started in Detroit

Early in-person voting has started in Detroit. According to the Michigan Secretary of State, 1,000 Detroit residents cast their ballots on the first day of early in-person voting. “I feel good about the convenience and all the locations that they have out here in Detroit to be able to promote early voting,” said Taleeka Franklin of Detroit. Taleeka Franklin just moved to Detroit from Atlanta. She decided to vote early on Saturday. “I didn’t want to wait until Election Day and suffer any long lines, and things of that sort, that may lead to some voter suppression so getting ahead of the game… is really important to me,” said Franklin.
