Today is Primary Election Day in Michigan. The people who make sure that elections go to plan are our county clerks. Today, we’re going to check in with two county clerks – a Democrat and a Republican –  about how today’s primary process is shaping up, and how their jobs are shifting in a contentious political era. 

GUESTS: 

Barb Byrum, Ingham County clerk
