we have actually done exactly what the aclu sent a letter to me in 2012 asking me to do.hey literally said please, secretary of state, john husted, implement fair and uniform standards across the state of hai ohio, not different standards in 88 different counties as was the previous practice. we did that and two years later they filed a lawsuit asking to go back to the old system. >> let me ask you -- >> the bottom line is there a lot of people who doesn't want peace about this. the schedule that we're using right now literally was a bipartisan recommendation from democrats and republicans who run elections at the local level. >> i guess my question is is why did you make the decision to round down? you could have rounded up and said i want fair and uniform elections and the standard has been sunday, we're going to do these two sundays, expand the hours and make sure every voting jurisdiction has the hours. you could have rounded up and you decided to round down. >> that's not exactly -- >> why did you do that? >> that's not true, chuck. actually, the legislature shortene

that's a big part of the legal basis for the ongoing complaint, the aclu tells me. >> i am wonderinghering data on who was being asked demographically, sxwree graphically, and who was not? what are they planning to do with it? >> they tell me they are gathering exactly that. they say the original suit, they're saying under the state constitution this law is unconstitutional anyway just because we know for a fact there are several hundred thousand voters who don't have an id, and the state constitution specifically guarantees the right to vote, which goes further than u.s. constitution, by the way. now we're seeing beyond that being implied inekwail kwael and improperly, and that's -- >> when this goes back before the state supreme court, these new cases, these new complaints will be a part of that suit? >> you're right. you're seeing the same thing happening in north carolina where that voting law, both voter id and cuts to early voting are being challenged by the aclu as well, and they're gathering information about the impact of that in the recent primaries and so that too will be

rikki, the aclu says the law is dangerous.d, by the way, it's the point of view of the drug czars, the point of view of the women's graups who have spoken out against this law, it's the point of view of health care providers. so the aclu is not alone here. but on the other side of this, this is what we call a velvet hammer. this is a law that is saying look, we're giving up in tennessee. we have in tennessee 921 cases last year of neonatal abstinence syndrome, meaning a child born of a pregnant mother who was drug addicted the child was addicted. what happens to this child is horrific. so they're saying just as you introduce this, if you go into drug treatment, you're not the going to jail. so the argument of saying we're stopping women from getting any kind of drug treatment because they're afraid they'll be arrested, that's a false argument. you have a situation here where you need accountability. we have babies having babies. we have drug addicts having babies. and what the governor has said after ten days of in-depth study
