In the first segment:
The low-information voter: The often-complained-about citizen who knows when voting day is, but not enough to make a sound decision on the issues, or candidates.
At least that is what the people who lose think.
This term is often thrown around when "people vote against their interest" or "the media frames an issue in a way to mislead."
We talk to Eric Boehlert, senior fellow at Media Matters, on how pundits use the term both rightly and wrongly, and Dr. David Crockett from Trinity university, who tells us what the research actually says on the matter.
