Hi everyone, welcome to The Civics Desk. I am Marcus Delgado, I taught government for twelve years, and this is the show where we take one question about how government works and answer it properly. Today's question comes from a listener in Ohio who looked at her ballot, saw the words county clerk, and realised she was about to vote for a job she could not describe. She is not alone. So I called a serving county clerk from a mid-sized county here in Texas, and she has agreed to walk us through what she actually does on a Tuesday. Deeds, marriage licences, court records, in some states elections, in others not. By the end you will know what the job is, why it is on a ballot, and how to find yours. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
