Weather Channel heads to swing states for election
NEW YORK (AP) — Snowstorms, hurricanes and tornados are what usually put The Weather Channel’s news team in motion. This November it will mobilize for the election.
The network, which commissioned a study on how many people might be dissuaded from going to the polls by bad weather, said Wednesday it plans to send some of its meteorologists out into the field on Election Day to monitor the weather’s impact on voting.
The study, done in August, found that 25 percent of eligible voters said bad weather would have an impact on their ability or desire to get to the polls on Nov. 6. Among people who said they were undecided between President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney, 35 percent said weather might make a difference in whether they vote.
