it was a close outcome in ohio that year. d you know, it's easy to see the heroism of people who stayed online for nine hours, who stayed on line until 4:00 in the morning out in the cold in order to cast their vote. but by definition of the word hero, not everybody can be a hero. and the estimates of how many votes were not cast in ohio that year because of voting problems, the estimates were devastating, 175,000 people are thought to have gone home that year after trying to vote but failing to because the voting lines were so terrible and they didn't have nine hours to spend many and george w. bush squeaked by in that state by two points as he won re-election. his margin of victory in ohio was 120,000 votes. after 175,000 people in the state looked at the lines and decided they couldn't take it. significantly less than the number of people who went home rather than stay in lines was the margin of victory for george w. bush that year. after that voting disaster in 2004, ohio tried to get their act together a little bit. they

look at in ohio. a bill to trim early voting moves forward. ment to end same-day registration and put new limits on absentee ballots. in florida on the state's gulf coast, the commissioners down there have okayed the closing, catch this, of 30 polling places, which amounts to 1/3 of the county's total. the local naacp president said of the shutdowns the more affluent community was left alone. and as far as their polling place, they didn't suffer some kind of closings as poor neighborhoods did. it's no coincidence the right to vote is under assault in two of the most important swing states in the country, especially in presidential election. tim russert, ohio, ohio, ohio, florida, florida, florida. state representative kathleen clyde is in the ohio state assembly. and dale ho is director of the aclu's voting rights projects. i want to start with an elective official. representative clyde, tell me what is going on in ohio with this effort to make it harder, to be blunt, minorities, older people, who are democrats in many cases to vote. your thoug

voting in ohio matters. er is a democratic state turner from ohio, also a candidate for secretary of state, and also my friend. nina, thanks so much for being here. welcome to the show. >> thanks, joy. congratulations to you. >> thank you. i should mention we also reached out to governor kasich, to the secretary of state john huston, and several other officials. they either said no thank you, or didn't get back to us. so you'll be here on your own, senator turner. why do you think there's such a strong push for these pretty far-reaching restrictions. >> it makes no sense. years ago, they had to jumped many hurdles, long lines, people waiting in lines for hours. in knox county the last voter didn't vote until 4:00 a.m. the general assembly since that election of 2004 corrected that. that is why ohio since then voters have been able to enjoy early in-person voting and absentee voting, so it makes no sense when it comes to voter-sent rick why the gop-controlled legislature, and the gop secretary of state would s

take for example the execution last month of dennis maguire in ohio. maguire was sentenced the r the 1989 rape and killing of a pregnant woman. for the first time anywhere in the united states, a two drug protocol was used, involving the sedative and the painkiller. after the drugs were injected maguire according to witnesses wheezed, coughs and strains against the restraints. he colleged his fists and appears to be sucking for air. it took more than 20 minutes for him to die. the day after their fathers execution, the maguire family gathered to announce a lawsuit. >> i want to stop the death penalty in ohio. i don't think any family should deal with what we have dealt with. over the last couple of days. i don't think anybody deserves that. >> families or my dad. anybody on death row, nobody deserves to go through that. >> maguire's son spoke exclusively with al jazeera america tonight. >> i believe that my dad shouldn't have been an experiment. i believe they shouldn't have experimented with anybody, let alone my father. >> capital punishment is legal

it is deplorable what is happening in the state of ohio. is what's happening all across this country. they are trying to rig the elections. but i am confident that the voters in this state and across this country, they are not going to stand for it. there will be a day of reckoning and it is called the election of 2014. >> zach, really quickly, north carolina had its highest turnout yet this week, we understand, for those moral monday protests. activists are railing against what they say is a return to a pre civil rights south, including the so-called attempt to, quote, crucify voting rights. is there a chance we're going to see this kind of backlash in places like ohio, in places like montana? >> absolutely. i mean, in north carolina, it's actually been a rightward shift across the board, not just on voting rights, but on economic issues, on campaign finance, on a whole range of stuff. yes, as you see the efforts to restrict the votes in ohio, montana, nevada, even in california right now, you're going to see voting rights advocates and sup

it took 26 minutes to kill dennis in ohio. and should a person sitting on death row, should these executions be halted until we have more transparency. >> they should be halted, period. there's no way that an execution should take place in america with evidence. and this is factual evidence of innocent people convicted and sentenced to death row. we can't do this anymore. itch understand that the public wants retribution. but that's not what this is about. don't climb over me to kill a guilty man. >> well the debate nationwide, peril prosecutors man to seek the death penalty for bombing suspect, joe harnette, a depraved killer, and lacks remorse for the bombing that killed 3 people. one of the mothers who long opposed the death penalty is reconsidering her decision, and omar, i can see this contentious debate boiling up on twitter. >> we have a comment on facebook: >> so airplane, he want to put this to you, if you have a family, who essentially has lost someone to a vicious crime and torture, or death. and they tell you that t

>>> republicans in ohio have just now enacted two laws that make it harder to vote in ohio.lican controlled house passed the bills along party lines wednesday, and today, governor john kasich signed them into law. these were bills passed by the senate in november of last year. senate bill 238 eliminates 6 days of early voting to 29 days down from 35. and the significance of that is that those six days are referred to as the golden week. when ohio citizens can both register to vote and cast an in-person absentee ballot. senate bill 205 alters the process by which an tenancy ballots are mailed. more on that in a moment. measures take effect 90 days after the primary election and the timing here is interesting. the last time ohio republicans tried to pull a similar stunt was during the 2012 presidential election. but the obama re-election campaign filed a complaint and a federal judge ordered ohio to allow early voting on the three days prior to the election. the judge ordered republican secretary of state john husted not to enforce a state law republicans pushed to close that

in 2011, he signed a law that would open up state parks for drilling and fracking. ohio maybe conservative. it turns out voters didn't want their public land spoiled. it didn't help at the time john had received 200 grand in contributions from the oil and gas industry. you can say, that was a pr hurdle. the ten-page memo released on friday reveals a wide ranging 2012 pr campaign. it was developed by john's appointees at the ohio department of natural resources. it was all coordinated with the governor's office. it identifies ways they can sell ohioans on the drilling. the majority of voters disagreed with that industry plan. even if you do support drilling and some people do, these documents reveal a much bigger problem. a regulatory agency planning a pr campaign with the very groups they're supposed to regular. last like a cop helping you hide the evidence. these documents reveal the department saying, quote, this initiative can be expected to blur public perception of the oil and gas. one of the groups was halliburtin. the governor's office initially denied knowledge o

i hear it in ohio all the time. i'm going to do more with part time and overtime. i'm not going to hire people. finally 19 new taxes in this thing. a trillion dollars in new taxes. that wasn't even analyze inside the cbo report. there were a bunch of promises made and none are being kept. you could keep your health care. >> let's stick to this issue and to the question at hand. you brought up the american worker senator portman but you voted this week against extending unemployment benefits for those out of work. it's striking. i wonder what you say to those as been reported in your own state, more than 50,000 ohio residents who had unemployment benefits end in december. those folks really hurting. why did you vote against that? >> well, david, first of all i'm one of six republicans that voted to allow the debate to go forward. unfortunately the democrats wouldn't negotiate with us how to pay for it. but again, let's get back to the problem at hand. i said we've got a 35-year low in terps of the numbers working and the participation rate. we are record numbers of p

. >> i want to stop the death penalty in ohio. i don't think that any family should deal with what we dealt with. >> other states are considering using the electric chairs, and gas chambers and firing squads. critics say that it amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. so is it time to reevaluate how people are punished for crimes in america? helping with this is jerry gibbons, horace cooper, former law professor, now with the national center for public policy research, aaron haynie, an attorney. i want to start with you first, louisiana recently used an execution, drugs to kill dennis mcfire. and some are calling for executions now. and what is the main concern. >> the main concern, and the person who tweeted in earlier hit on it. is there a moral way in an ethical way for the state to execute member? and by and large, whatever method we have tried, we have found there is not. initially, in california, we had executions by gas chamber, and it was found to be unconstitutional and to constoot cruel and unusual punishment. as a resu

. >>> it's winter in ohio. charles mill lake is peaceful now, but in the summer it's full of activity, punctuated by the sounds of boats and children playing. leroy and melody bruce remember those days fondly. >> we used to go out on the pontoon boat. i remember laying on the front of the pontoon boat with my hands out catching leaves and bugs and seeing who could catch the most in the water. >> melody's stepfather, larry bruce, worked as a driver for roadway trucking. judy was a stay-at-home mom. >> my mom was kind of introverted. she did not really socialize a lot because of her speech impediment. she had a hard time with people understanding what she was saying. >> the speech impediment, the result of a cleft palate, made judy self-conscious, but when she had corrective surgery, her life changed. >> well, she got her driver's license, she had a car, she got a job at mansfield general hospital in housekeeping. she was making friends there. >> judy loved her job at the hospital, but on the morning of november 2

in ohio, the u.s. district court in columbus has had deep scrutiny about this process and has been very critical about it, so whatever they do has to pass legal muster as well, as well as the process of the medical examination. >> we are also joined by cheryl pilate, an attorney for herbert smulls, who was executed in missouri. cheryl pilate, could you talk about what you understood to be the drug combination used there, and also about the issue of the state of missouri, like many states, maintaining the actual composition of the drug secret. >> i think what we are seeing right now is a real determination to move ahead regardless of knowing whether the drug or combination of drugs are safe or have been proven effective. what i foresee coming is actually a lot of executions this year. in missouri, what occurred in my client's case, as in the prior to executions was the use of a compound, and the significance is many fold. with the compound the drug, the drug can vary from batch-to-batch. it is compounded

what is going on in ohio? e the people of your state ready to hear a different proposal. >> well, what is going in my state and my country, which is one of the top five counties to have people on death row and use it disproportionately. often it is a way to get plea bargains out of it. but the death penalty is where it starts instead of where it finishes. it has been seen and shown to be used across racial lines as well, and also with the count of one's economic background, so we have lower income people as mr. dieters pointed out, in terms of that disproportion at it use of the death penalty. i believe we are ready for this discussion and part of it is to educate the general public that there is more to it. i think -- you know, father hummer talked about the fact that once the death penalty is applied, it happens in a very, very small place. and the rest of the population gets to back away from it. we hear about an extraordinary story, but day-to-day we have no concept of what is going on. so these discussions

we are at every level in ohio. in the soup reams court, every level. we are fighting in the ohio supreme court for parents rights to make difficult medical decisions for their child, without hospitals and government stepping in and overruling the decision. that is really what is critical here - not about what the final choice is, but who makes the chose. >> how long will the girl stay in hiding? >> they are out of hiding. the guardianship was stalled by the judge. they are able to come out into the light of day. they are not worried about kidnapping. they are fighting the guardianship, but the person causing a lot of the trouble stepped down. >> maurice thompson, attorney for the hershbergerses. thank you for joining us. >> general motors is recalling 70,000 compact cars. engines can shut down, causing crashes. six have been fatal. heavy key rings could be a factor. they can pull the switch mechanism out of the run position. it affects chevrolet cobalts, pontiac g 5s made between 2005 and 2006. >> the nation's biggest cable company is hoping to get big

other early age where all of the closest people around me started companies so it sort of grew up in ohio and then so be all successful. no they weren't bad so it's it's in some of them i use as examples of not what what not to be but it was from starting skateboard companies the clothing companies to to retail stores to restaurants to clubs like this inner circle i had was very entrepreneurial so it instilled in me in a very young age that that's just what i was meant to do and i love him big was the big thing for you right now what was robin big you know initially sort of as a professional skateboarder your career is walked by these video parts and we had a huge one for d.c. shoes and i just knew that my skateboarding wouldn't be that good so i wrote this idea of a skit where we go everywhere and skateboard and get kicked out and by security guards phil now i'm going to bring my own security guard to deal with security guards and i would go to a place they'd come to kick me out they'd have to talk to my six foot six home instead of talking to me yeah and it kind of blew up in skateboard
