Warren, a city in Michigan, is making significant progress in processing and tabulating early ballots, according to a state official familiar with the counting. Warren, which is the largest jurisdiction in the state that did not take advantage of the new law allowing for early vote processing, has already processed and counted at least 10,000 ballots. There are approximately 17,000 ballots left to be processed as of 4 p.m. ET.
The city of Warren is on track to complete the counting process by 2 a.m. ET. Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini had previously expressed concerns about Warren's decision to delay processing until recently, fearing it would slow down the overall count. However, Warren's Clerk Sonja Buffa defended the delay, citing the importance of maintaining election integrity.
