Local voter's signature causes issue for her absentee ballot; what officials advise

WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) — Days after West Bloomfield Township voter Renee Fluker turned in her absentee ballot, she told 7 News Detroit that she got a phone call from a number she didn't recognize.

"A gentleman called me from San Jose saying my ballot was voided!" Fluker said.

She said that the caller told her to contact West Bloomfield Township to find out what was wrong, so she did just that.

We took Fluker's story to West Bloomfield Township Clerk Debbie Binder, who explained: "When we get an absentee ballot back, we verify every signature against what we have in the qualified voter file. What we have in the qualified voter file is typically the drivers license or the state ID signature."
