Maine and Vermont are the only two states in the country that allow convicted felons to vote while in prison. But in Maine, prisons are one of the only places that the campaigns can't actually penetrate. Prisoners don’t have access to the candidates' campaigns and are barred from talking politics with prison staff. As the presidential campaign wraps up, Jeffrey Merrill, the warden of Maine State Prison joins us to talk about how Maine's prisoners participate in the electoral process.

In the last few days before the election, House and Senate Republicans, have been pushing hard to help incumbents facing tough re-election races keep their seats in Congress. The Senate GOP poured new resources into states like Minnesota, North Carolina and Georgia, while House Republicans focused on Virginia, Indiana and Kentucky. New York Times reporter David Herszenhorn talks with John Hockenberry about whether this last push for Congressional republicans has legs.

Tomorrow, for the first time in history, American will put either an African-American man in the White House or elect a woman as vice president. Today, we take a look at several African-American women who helped make this moment in history possible. These women were writers, politicians and civil rights leaders. But their names are often omitted in the discussion about how we got to this pivotal moment in American history.
