Denzel McCampbell Statement on Removal of Ballot Drop Boxes in Detroit
DETROIT – On Friday, Denzel McCampbell, candidate for Detroit City Clerk, released the following statement regarding the removal of absentee ballot drop boxes in the city of Detroit:
“During a time when Detroiters are faced with voter suppression efforts by Republicans in Lansing, it’s outrageous that the Detroit City Clerk’s office has decreased the number of absentee ballot drop boxes available to voters. It is unacceptable to cite anticipated lower voter turnout as a reason for the reduced drop boxes when we’ve yet to see a coordinated effort to increase turnout from our city government.
“This news comes just a few weeks after we learned that incorrect return envelopes for absentee ballot applications were sent to many voters. Detroiters deserve better. We must work to ensure that elections are accessible, and that voting is made as easy as possible – Detroiters cannot afford anything less. The Detroit City Clerk should reverse course and re-install the drop boxes from 2020 so that voters in the city have as many options to cast their ballots as possible.”
