Warner visited multiple county clerks’ offices Friday to check in on how they’re preparing for a larger-than-usual number of absentee ballots as the rescheduled Election Day of June 9 approaches. More people than usual are requesting the ballots because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Wood County Clerk’s office mailed 3,800 ballots out Friday, the first day they could be sent.
