Stickers given to voters during the 2024 election.

The state accuses Antrim County's clerk of mishandling voter registration data. The clerk, Victoria Bishop, says she's doing what voters elected her to do.

Township clerks seem largely frustrated by the changes. Voters seem confused. And the state Bureau of Elections has threatened legal consequences.

Votebeat reporter Hayley Harding joins us to talk about the laws governing how voter registrations are handled. Read more of her conversation with IPR's Austin Rowlader.

Reporting in this episode comes from Vivian La and Austin Rowlader.
