state assemblies and legislative bodies within each individual state and county. these are the people who really affect our daily lives. and as we all know, the president only has a certain amount of power. congress has the real power and those are the places where it is extremely important to vote. guest: in my article actually look at a study that was done in 2001. not only in presidential races, but in dandala races and -- but to the down-ballot races. it was a very comprehensive study. they found that one race was probably decided by local vote. it was in 1910. congressional representation is very important. congress is very powerful. you are right about that, but that is still not a good reason to vote. your impulse is very common and it is absolutely understandable. we want people to be invested in the enterprise of america. and we want people to expand some effort, possibly some money, you know, miss a day of work or whatever it is, to show that we are in this together. it is a good way for us to be able to quickly judge other people. that said, the actual act of voting is not the best way to do that. i think you are absolutely right that we need to be cynically in gauge. -- pacifically -- civically engaged. we need voter education. the get-out-the-vote campaigns intended to lower the quality of the voting pool. uber people tend to be less informed. -- no. people tend to be less informed. -- shutting young people o shoving young people into the ballot boxes, most of them do not know what they are doing. they will launch influence the outcome of the election, but it will put them in the position to think that they are. host: mary in st. louis. caller: i don't agree with her. their vote does count. i have an 18-year-old. he would love to vote. it is wrong for her to say that your vote doesn't count. that is why so many people are confused on whether to vote or not. guest: i think is great that you are taking your 18-year-old to see how the process works. that is valuable. at the same time, you raised something that i would like to highlight from the peace. there is a good reason to vote. there is a 1983 book which is kind of a seminal book on this. they say, look, one reason you might vote is as an expressive measure. voting is fun. election day is kind of cool. you go to the polls, and you get to savor their. you see kids with their grandmothers. it is great. that is cool. voting is fun. have a great time with that. but i do think you do 18-year- old's everywhere a disservice to tell them that their vote will influence the outcome of a presidential election. it is not. there are lots of good reasons to vote, because you like voting. but that is not the same thing as saying my vote will be the decisive vote. it will not. host: our guest is the managing editor of reason magazine. we're looking at her piece "your vote doesn't count." you mentioned you do not vote in the presidential elections. guest: i actually don't vote in statelocal elections, either. again, because the margins are too big. but like i say in the peace, if we wind up in a to georgia where no one else is voting -- and this is the idea that if you start to do it and no one starts -- and no one votes, that would be terrible. i would vote in a pga election were only five people show up. i do vote in -- pta election where only five people show up. i do vote in the polling in my office. my official position is by having on negligible chance in influencing the outcome of the election, -- if i have a non- negligible chance in influencing the outcome of the election, that is when i vote. host: here is a tweet to where you are saying. what would be the outcome of the vote if no one voted? guest: this would be the alternate opportunity for the write-in ballot. if we wind up with a situation where we have -- where i am the only voter, you better believe i will be president catherine mangu-ward. host: next caller. caller: i tend to agree with what she is

states, particularly states whether democratic leaders incentives and assemblies, and democratic governors, teacher unions were involved in these conversations. and they were stepping up to the plate, i would argue, with more than just what mike mentioned about in wisconsin where they were offering wage concessions and benefit concessions. offering to go down some path that they had not been willing to go down in the past. issues like teacher evaluations that some component tied to student performance. issues like greater public school choice. even some issues which had been sort of the holy grail about tenure and what it means to earn tenure in places. so this is sort of the backdrop that was playing out in many states around the country two years ago at a time when the wisconsin legislature went overwhelmingly to the republicans in the election, and governor scott walker was elected. at a time when governor walker took office and the republicans controlled both the house and the senate in wisconsin, it was common knowledge, everybody understood that elections matter, and what you saw from the wisconsin education association council were what appeared to be, like on the outside, initial overtures to start going down some of these paths about dealing with teacher evaluations, dealing with performance pay, and a few weeks prior to the legislation that was introduced by governor walker, yet we saw the state union in wisconsin through the largest city in the state under the bus. they supported discussions about breaking up the milwaukee public school district into smaller unions which is something that had been on the table for the last 25, 30 years in wisconsin. and was generally posed by teacher union

state assembly and legislative bodies each individual state and counties, these are the people that really affect our daily lives in a big way as we know all, the president only has a certain amount of power. congress has the real power. and those places where it's extremely important to vote and vote the bums out. thank you. >> guest: so in my article, i actually look at the study that was done and it was i think it was 2000 not only a presidential race races that house races throughout all of american history. it's a comprehensive study. what they found was that there was one race in all of american history that was probably actual decided by one vote. was in buffalo in 1910. >> host: congressional representation is absolutely important in congress is powerful. you're right about that. but that is still not a good reason to vote. inyour impulse is common. it it's understandable. we want people to be invested in the enterprise of america. we want people to expend some effort and possibly money. misa day of work, whatever it is. to kind of show that like we're in it together and show, you know, that evening wearing your i voted sticker. it's a good way for us to be able to quickly judge other people. that said, the actual acted of voting is not the best way to do that. i think you are right we should be civically engaged. i think you are right that voter education is valuable in fact far more valuable than get out the vote push and i think those two things often get confused. get out the vote push that is aimed at 18-year-old has i think the unfortunate consequence of really lowering the quality of the voting pool. young people tend to be nor ignorant in their votes. they tend to know less about the candidates and make their decision on less information. so by shuffling 18-year-olds in to the ballot box we are encouraging people who don't know what they're doing to do something that mostly not going to influence the outcome but is going put them in a position think they're making the decision in a way that i think is inappropriate. >> host: the next caller is mary a democrat joining us from st. louis, missouri. this morning. hi. >> caller: good morning. how are you? >> host: good. go ahead. >> caller: i don't agree with her. i and i don't, you know, because like the ore caller said it's asking someone the other vote -- it is aiming to the teenagers that don't want to vote because they feel like their votes don't count. but the votes do count. i have a 18-year-old and i have taken him for the poll and he's 18. he loved to vote. you know what i'm saying? it's wrong for her to say that your vote does not count. that's the reason why people choose to vote or not to vote. >> host: thanks. >> guest: again i think it's great your taking your 18-year-old to see how the process works. it's absolutely valuable. at the same time, you actually you raise a point that i would like to highlight from the piece there is a good reason to vote, and that's there's a 1993 book by lauren and jeffrey brennon no relation to jason brennon which is the book on this. they say listen, one reason you might vote is as it impressive measure. it's fun. election they is kind of cool. you got poll, you get to see everybody there. you see people with the kids, grandmother, it's great. that's cool. voting is fun, you should totally go vote, have a great time. i think you do 18-year-olds everywhere a disservice to tell them they're vote is going to actually influence the outcome of presidential election. it's not. there are lots of good reasons why you might vote because you like voting. that's not the same thing as saying my vote is going to be the decisive vote. it won't. katherine mangu-ward many people vote not because what it accomplishes because they like to vote. she is managing editor of reason magazine. as part of the spotlight on magazine weekly series. we look agent piece, "your vote doesn't count. " do you vote in state and local elections. why or why not. you don't vote in the presidential election. >> i don't vote in state or local elections either. again because the margins are too big. my vote didn't doing to make a difference as i say if we wind up in a situation where no one else is voting. tps. something that comes up, the idea that if you do it, what if everybody starts to did. and no one votes. that. would be a terrible outcome. i don't want that. i would vote in a pta election where only five people show up. i vote in, you know, meetings at my office where there are only six people voting in the pool. so my official principle is if i have a non-- chance of influence the outcome of the election. i vote. that rule simply doesn't apply to congressional, presidential or state legislature. >> host: what you're saying what will be the outcome if no one voted. not one person. >> guest: right. this is of course, a wonderful opportunity for the ultimately write in ballot. if we wind up in a situatio

assembly. it would allow many students who can prove they live in maryland to attend state schools at in state tuition rates even if they're not u.s. citizens. >>> on this day ten years ago, the washington area let out an audible sigh of relief. that is because on october 24, 2002, police officers arrested d.c. snipers john allen muhammad and lee boyd malvo after their three-week shooting spree that left ten people dead. their blue chevy capri was found at an i-70 rest stop in myersville, maryland. the two were sleeping inside at the time. muhammad was executed three years ago. malvo a teenager at the time is now serving a life sentence. >>> the securities and exchange commission has opened an informal inquiry into the district of columbia's chief's office. they're seeking copies of all internal audits dating to january 2010 and it's cooperating fully. cfo was criticized at a recent d.c. council hearing for his failure to release audits that uncovered problems in the office. >>> it is 5:35. jessica doyle is watching your money. >> she's watching the cost of college, too. that's a doozy. >> tha

state. offering 18 electoral votes. romney addressed a crowd at a business that supplies armor parts, and assemblies for military platforms. a time magazine poll shows the race is very close in the state. it shows president obama with 49 percent support and romney with 44 percent. the poll has a three point sampling error. >>president obama may have been upstaged at a campaign stop in florida. this pictures shows him posing with a group of school children on tuesday. but take a closer look behind the president. in the top row one boy decides to make his move on a female classmate. the kiss was quickly named "photo of the day" by the president's twitter feed. illinois state representative derrick smith has avoided the media since his indictment on federal corruption charges. but now there's word midday that smith may be ready to speak publically. the 10th district race has drawn national attention polls show smith with a sizeable lead. despite the fact he was expelled from the illlinois house. julian crews is in the district with the latest. is the first televised a murder trial in illinois. >> it is beginning to wind down in terms of testimony. a total of 18 witnesses have taken the stand. with your old is on trial this week facing murder and attempted murder trialcharges. prosecution is painting jones as a cold blooded killer. we're expecting to see a videotape testimony from the defendant in this case. >> hurricanes' handy is pondering jamaica. sandy is hitting jamaica. u.s. airways is in hot water. ar >>hurricane sandy slammed into cuba early today. bringing winds up to 105 miles an hour. the category two storm came ashore with waves up to 29 feet. b

and the coalition that he's been assembling and also about this enthusiasm gap, there's new numbers in georgia which, of course, is not a swing state or battleground statewing african-american turnout in georgia is on pace to be at record levels, historic record levels. so very encouraging that the president's base seems to be turning out. >> now, on the other side of this, jonathan, politico is reporting that the romney campaign is about to unleash billions in ad spending. media markets are in the pipeline. these ads will be focused on ceiling the deal in north carolina, virginia, where romney has gained momentum after the debates and is breaking obama's hold in midwestern states. ohio, wisconsin, and colorado. do you think this can move the dial for mr. romney? >> well, it depends on who is watchinging those ads and whether, indeed, they are persuadable. they are going after people who voted for president obama in 2008 and are still on the fence to give them the nod again. they will probably be amenable to a message that would make them comfortable with mitt romney. he needs virginia, north carolina, he needs florida, and he definitely needs ohio if h

state wide and residents of prince georges county vote against it, there may be no sixth casino sight. the maryland general assembly put that option in the bill. the bill states legislative intent that the commission may not award a license for a facility in prince georges county unless the majority of voters approve the referendum authorized by the bill. >> legislative intent is not legally binding at all. in every bill there's legislative intent. what's different about this bill it's explicitly statedh the intent is. >> experts consider the wording politically powerful. >> it's pretty strong. and i think the commission would have to take very seriously the decision of the voters of prince georges county. >> the commission members would face a lot of pressure. do they follow the spirit of intent or, as the law also allows, act in the best interest of the state? and if the rejection scenario place out, what happens to table games and tax breaks for casino operators? >> there will be table games in the existing five casinos. the tax breaks would not come in. >> a washington post poll of prince georges county voters finds 52% favor expanded gaming. 48% oppose. but if current state wide polling trends continue, prince georges voters may not have the last word. >> i think an important factor here is that people are sick and tired of seeing the ads and when they get in that mood, their tendency will be to vote no. >> voters will be able to finally weigh in on this issue starting at the en

state assembly signed onto a resolution expressing strong opposition to citizens united and called on congress to amend the constitution to get rid of that ruling in jersey is now the ninth state to support amending the constitution to prevent corporations millionaires and billionaires and basically buying our elections and our politicians already california connecticut maryland massachusetts or why you new mexico rhode island and vermont have adopted similar resolutions and here's one reason why a new report by open secrets reveals that these non party affiliated groups and individuals in total have spent more than a half billion dollars this election cycle or the total amount of spending by every by all the non party groups in every election since one thousand nine hundred come in. no problems out of no not at all i don't think we spent enough on the election activities i think this is a very very important critical the election that's coming up the issues there are billionaires we absolutely ought to be more invested in one of the ways that we show that investment is resources that we spent ok more billionaires lose no i actually think that more money in politics is actually an ok thing but i do think all of this corporate money and i think the fact that these corporations and the donations that are coming into these super pacs are relatively hidden they're hard to find is not the way to do it let's do it like virginia does it virginia you can take any kind of money you want if you're running for state office in virginia from governor on down corporate money personal money in any amount you know what happens within twenty four hours of taken it you've got to tell the state and the state put it on the internet if you don't take the money then let's figure out where it's coming from if you're going to be bought and sold by r.j. are going back so i want to know if there's a secondary consequence of that and that is that the media has this is a huge money pot for the for the national media and for and for local media and they're looking at this and so. they make money when there's a horse race and they don't make money when it's obvious that this candidate is going to beat this candidate and so it's looking at these election cycles particularly since the mid eighty's when this really started picking up you know in and after the doctor was blown up when reagan stopped in force in eighty seven that it seems like the media will if a candidate is up those beaten down if a candidate is down
