Polling Place Changes Hit Older Omaha Hardernew
On Primary Election Day, 82-year-old Robert Wright drove to Evans Tower on 24th Street in north Omaha from his home at 9th and Fort Streets. He heard on television that Evans Towers was a polling place. Because he hadn’t received a card in the mail telling him where to cast his vote, he figured someone at Evans Towers could at least give him that information, as he did not have internet access to look it up. Poll workers told him to drive to the pavilion at Miller Park. He used to vote at Sherman School, about five blocks from his home. His new polling location at Miller Park was 3 miles away.

Voter ID Lawsnew
Voter ID laws have become a political flashpoint in what's gearing up to be another close election year. Supporters say the laws — which 30 states have now enacted in some form — are needed to combat voter fraud, while critics see them as a tactic to disenfranchise voters. We've taken a step back to look at the facts behind the laws and break down the issues at the heart of the debate.
