As Ohio Goes... (EP29)
Résumé de l'épisode 29
(10/2/2012) In 2008, Ohio had unprecedented hours for early voting, including weekends and three days prior to the election. This change drew a record number of voters to the polls, especially in the African American community. But in 2011, the Ohio legislature and Republican Secretary of State curtailed early voting, cutting the number of early voting days -- and last month uniform hours were mandated statewide, thus eliminating weekend voting altogether, except for military voters. The situation remains a flashpoint of debate, with many in the Democratic Party seeing this move by state Republicans as an attempt to suppress votes. Also, we speak with Republican strategist Mike Murphy who will elaborate on the situation in Ohio and give his latest assessment of Mitt Romney’s chances in November.
