Voting booths stand ready to be used for the third day of early voting on Monday, July 29, 2024, at Central Michigan University's Powers Hall, in Mount Pleasant, Mich.

WCMU has been following allegations from state officials that the Antrim County clerk in northwest Michigan tampered with voters rolls.

Now, reporter Austin Rowlader with the Northern Michigan Journalism Collaborative has confirmed through public records that at least six people have had their voter registration status canceled in the "Qualified Voter Files" by the clerk, Victoria Bishop.

WCMU's David Nicholas spoke with Rowlader about the latest developments.

Also on the show, homeowners in Cadillac remain displaced following April's historic flooding and a new business and tourism coalition has formed on Mackinac Island just days after lawmakers passed a bill that gives the island full authority over ferry services.
