With the presidential election just one day away, 11th-hour Republican
voter suppression could swing the critical battleground state of Ohio
for GOP nominee Mitt Romney. On Friday, Ohio
Secretary of State Jon Husted issued a last-minute directive which could
invalidate a large number of legal provisional ballots by placing the
burden on the voter to correctly record the form of identification
provided to election officials. Over the weekend, long lines were
reported across the state as voters braved cold weather to line up for
hours at the polls. Even longer lines were reported in Florida, where
early voters waited for up to six hours to cast their ballot. We’re
joined from Cleveland by Ari Berman, contributing writer for The Nation
magazine and author of "Herding Donkeys: The Fight to Rebuild the
Democratic Party and Reshape American Politics."
