10:15Now PlayingOn the eve of the midterm elections, we air a report by investigative journalist Greg Palast on how new voter ID laws risk disenfranchising millions, especially black, Hispanic and AsianAmerican voters. Twentyseven states are now participating in the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program. Backers say it is needed to prevent voter fraud, but critics say it is being used to stop Democraticleaning voters from going to the polls. Tens of thousands of names have already been removed, and millions more are threatened. Based on a sixmonth investigation, Palast's report originally aired on Al Jazeera America. A Puffin Foundation fellow, Palast is the author of the New York Times bestseller, "Billionaires & Ballot BanditsHow to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps."
