“Today we are recognizing those people who haven’t missed an election for 50-years, when you think about that, that goes back to 1972 or earlier, and to recognize this number of people, I mean look at all these people behind me for 50-years they haven’t missed an election and it’s pretty humbling and I think it says a lot about Lewis County,” said Secretary Warner.

Warner also said that Lewis County always comes out to vote in large numbers and is a top 5 county for voter turnout in every state election.
