Page 4 - Arent Voting News Today

Information. we know who is voting, we dont know how they are voting and we dont know why they are voting. this is helpful information to tell us a little bit about enthusiasm. i think it really tells us a lot more about a campaigns ground game. so if you look at a state like north carolina, the clinton campaign and democrats generally have an enormous ground game there. their entire focus is early voting, knocking on peoples doors saying have you early voted, do you know when to do it, do you k...

But shes seen as the incumbent. >> cnns jason carroll is at a polling place in miami this morning. good morning. >> reporter: not just any polling place. we are here at the clark government center in downtown miami. the scene of that recount, you remember that one, back in 2000. hopefully not this go-around. today, though, carol, it is all about early voting. half of all the residents here in the state of florida expected to cast their votes in the early voting period. the candidates know just h...

Kind of more fascinating from jeb bushs point of view. obviously, the most obvious answer is these two men do not like eesm other and that is a big part of the explanation. i think theres more to it than that. if you look at the polling, among the republicans who are not voting for trump, hes pretty unpopular. hes more unpopular than the other candidates are among the candidates who arent voting for them. what that suggests is there is still a role for someone many the party to try to be the one...

Midterms in statewide elections both at the governors level, the state house and senate levels but also at the u.s. senate level, so the problem is, and i dont have any idea what the answer is, but the problem is that we dont do badly at the statewide level. we just do badly at the national level. >> minorities arent voting. the problem is in the midterm elections younger voters and voters of color eventually can stay home. thats the difference. >> after the midterm election, the new york post t...

Arbitrator of black faces? the knox fuse structure and right wing spent the first six years of president obamas term in office reminding us how black he was. when he was running for office they had "the new yorker" and michelle obama with the black power get up, they called the fist bump of terrorist fist jabs and they did these things to blacken up obama so white people wouldnt vote for him and now hes about to leave office saying hes not black enough. his proxy should be ben carson. were all b...

>> reporter: launching his presidential bid at a christian university ted cruz cast himself as a champion of the religious right who will energize the faith lful in the way mike huckabee, rick santorum and ben carson will not. >> today roughly half of born-again christians arent voting. >> reporter: but in new hampshire, cruz positioned himself as a gop disrupter as the first in the field to address the people who are upset with the traditional republican movement. >> we should abolish the iris....

>> reporter: hes the first 2016 presidential candidate out of the gate. he faces an uphill climb, and thats just among his fellow republicans. >> we need intelligent debate in this country. ted cruz may be an intelligent person but he doesnt carry out an intelligent debate. hes just a guy with a big mouth, and no results. >> reporter: he made clear today hes running hard against the establishment, saying moderate republicans wield too much influence on the party. hes setting his sights on wooing...

Texans at liberty university so it was almost like he was doing it in texas. he had one foot in texas. but what i think is so interesting is with ted cruz announcing, all of the focus when it comes to texas is going to be on him. rick perrys going to announce pretty soon i would bet, but he is going to be in the shadow of ted cruz because hes really going to embody that texas tea party mentality in the republican party. >> let me go back to something you said about the evangelical vote, because ...

Action. >> who are the poets that you read? >> oh. of course maya angelo audrey lord, my own mentor, mahogany brown. just people who get it, you know? empowering people of color who really make a stand. >> so do you think young people are truly engaged in the political world right now? >> not so much. i feel like they can be more engaged, many young people arent voting in the elections. and i think that we can power up on that one. but i think that we just need the right communication to really ...

Cigarettes or a can of of beer. the notion that this is an attempt to suppress legitimate votes from minorities i would argue is actually an attempt by liberals or democrats in order to advance their, you know, political standing through, you know, very, very questionable claims. jon: juan, i want everybody who is legally entitled to do so to be able to vote, but i also want to make sure that dead people arent voting and people arent voting four times and people who arent citizens arent voting. ...
