the election of 1864 was two elections. the home vote they called it, and the army vote. both democrats and republicans had great hopes for the soldier votes. they would allow absentee ballots from their soldiers in the field in 1864. george mcclellan was a soldier soldier, and worked his networks to encourage other soldiers to support him. mcclellan's status also heard him. many soldiers thought it was inappropriate for a general, still with rank and pay to run against a commander in chief that he served. the democrats peace plank alienated many soldiers who saw their only ka pit tu lace the democratic platform expressed sympathy for the soldiers as if they had been duped. soldiers knew the democrats in one state after another had voted to deny them the right to vote in the absentee ballots. they were only temporary soldiers in the case, volunteers with their loyalty still firmly attached to the low caltys and states. what they did not know was weather it would be enough to overcome close home votes in pennsylvania and new york one reason they furloughed thousands of sol

the other problem as well is that the election is going to happen in a few weeks. it remains to be seen how this operation is going to affect the already very difficult and precarious situation during election season in these areas. they estimate that hundreds of fighters are in the area alone. the numbers have swelled over the last few years despite the relentless dispute of the government to go after them. during the election season that is when kidnapping thrives. their main operation is kidnap for ransom. it is at this time where kidnap operations are in fact rife. it is a little bit of everything. there are so many problems one after the another, but the question remains we don't know exactly what happens two days ago. how come 18 soldiers were killed and supposedly a plan that was thought out for months >>> as you point out, they are renowned for taking hostages, many of them foreign. what's the fate of the hostages that they currently hold? i think we know of an italian having been released in the last couple of days. >> reporter: yes. an italian was released

the election year. when the job of the senate has always been to decide if this was the right time to do it. the last time a vacancy that was created in an election year was filled was 1936. 1936. democrat president, democrat senate, franklin roosevelt up for certain re-election and the vacancy was filled in 1936. the last time a vacancy was filled and was created in an election year when the house and the senate and the presidency were of different parties was 1888. 1968, president johnson tried to put abe fortis -- to move abe fortis from a justice on the supreme court to the chief justice, and democrats in control of the senate would not let the president fill that vacancy in an election year. the idea that there is anything extraordinary going on here has often been -- the case has been made over and over again by our friends on the other side and even the vice president himself that filling a vacancy in an election year is just something that the senate should be very thoughtful about, and if you fo

the ads and spectacles of the election are everywhere. how can you escape the great spectacle of the election? the turnout in the presidential election is nothing to brag about. even when obama got elected twice. although turnout was high it wasn't nearly as high as people thought it would be when you look back at it. you get more people interested because celebration and more ground game and more resources than in local elections. also, the people who do the registration and who get people to vote don't educate voters. and one reason they don't edge educate them, and i hate to be cynical, most candidates like the same people to vote over and over and to vote for them. we hear them talk about new voters. in most state and local campaigns, people don't like new voters because they don't know what they are going to it. >> host: right. taking into respect of the candidates increased turnout means more money is needed and we will have to identify more people and the cost of the elections will go up and there is more problems because i have to

this is how politicians try to get elected, spending millions of dollars on the campaign and as soon one election ends, fundraising for the next begins. in 2012, the election cost about $2.6 billion. you can't help but wonder, where does this money come from? 68% of election funding is contributed by less than 1% of americans. >> there are people who are spending fast sums of money to influence elections. that is provable in our data across the board and that is what democrats and republicans -- people of all political strides. at the end of the day, everyone's focus is the same but ,f you are judging people judging the level of speech people can participate in, there is a very small group of prolific political donors who have greater access to the political system because they have more money. >> if you have one phone call to make, you make that call to a billionaire or to a citizen in your district who will give you $50? unfortunately, we know the answer to that rest in and that is the biggest problem we have in the system. groups can receive instant contributions but in complete 2
