Detroit — Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson opened the drop box, inserted her ballot envelope and closed the door.
That was it; it was that simple.
Benson, along with Pistons vice chairman Arn Tellem and coach Dwane Casey, took part in a small ceremony Tuesday morning to demonstrate the ease of dropping off completed ballots on Election Day, for those who already received absentee ballots.
Having the drop box in front of the Pistons’ practice facility in midtown Detroit was just one of the ways in which the team fulfilled the goal of enhancing its voter engagement in the general election.
