As voters around the country cast their ballots on November 6, hundreds of law students monitored polling sites, answered telephone calls from confused citizens, kept tabs on election developments or canvassed for their chosen candidates.
It was a busy day at Ohio State Michael E. Moritz College of Law, where more than 30 students and faculty staffed an information and research hub dubbed Election Central. The project, which the school has hosted for each federal election since 2004, offers real-time election updates and analysis for the public and the news media. Staffers were monitoring national developments, including two lawsuits alleging that the software used in Ohio voting machines was vulnerable to manipulation, and keeping close tabs on reports of long lines at polling places.
