League of Women Voters of Washtenaw County

The November mid-term general election takes place this coming Tuesday. There are good number of people who didn't vote absentee and will head to the polls. What should you expect? We get those answers for you the day before the election when Catherine Murau from the League of Women Voters of Washtenaw County joins WEMU's David Fair.

Michigan’s re-drawn 6th Congressional district has a popular, incumbent Democrat seeking re-election and a Republican challenger that is, for lack of a better term, an elusive candidate. As Cathy Shafran reports, Debbie Dingell is ever-present on the campaign trail, while GOP primary winner, Whittney Williams, is nowhere to be found.

The August 2nd primary elections are right around the corner. Redistricting has a number of things in Washtenaw County, including voting districts and some polling locations. All the while, there are important races and ballot issues to decide and knowing who and what you are voting for is vital. Informing the electorate is the mission of the non-profit, the League of Women Voters of Washtenaw County. WEMU's David Fair caught up with the organization's new president, Lynn Kochmanski, to discuss those efforts.
