Will Weather Affect Ohio Democratic Primary Voting?
2008-03-04 19:35:00 Will Mother Nature cooperate for today’s hotly contested Democratic primary races in Ohio , Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont? Ohio is a “must-win” for both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, but a wintry mixture of freezing rain, snow and sleet are expected across much of the state. Freezing rain has begun to fall in Cleveland (Cuyahoga County). Will inclement weather make it more likely that lower-income voters who rely on public transportation won’t be able to make it to voting booths? It’s believed that Clinton has a lead in Ohio but Cleveland, with a population (as of the 2000 Census) that’s 50.99 percent black, should deliver votes for Obama. More About: Politics , Weather
