>> paul, appreciate that. while the president and mitt romney are getting ready for the debate, first lady michelle obama is speaking out on voting rights. she spoke at the professional black caucus gala last night about the importance of protecting the right to vote. >> we all get a say in our democracy no matter who we are or where we're from or what we look like or who we love. so we cannot let anyone discourage us from casting our ballots. we cannot let anyone make us feel unwelcome in the voting booth. >> now, the first lady didn't specifically refer to it, but there is an election battle brewing right now over americans' access to the voting booth. a lot of states have passed laws that many people say could make it harder to vote. those laws could be game changers come november. joe john shows us how. >> reporter: in the past two years, almost every state in the country has introduced or passed some kind of restriction or change to the voting laws. 41 out of 50 states since the last mid-term election. we're talking about all kinds of changes to the voting laws here, for early voting, voting registration, absentee ballots, and almost all are to laws requiring voters to show photo identification. 11 states are already gotten the photo i.d. laws in place. another six states have photo i.d. laws that have now been challenged in the courts and are under review. this is going on mostly in republican controlled states. we have to say here, again and again, voter i.d. laws are very popular and make sense to people. the people who support these laws say they're needed to avoid voter fraud, but in previous elections and the primaries this year, we've not seen a significant number of people charged with voter fraud. democrats who are fighting these laws state to state say it doesn't have anything to do with fraud, it's just a plan to keep minority voters, including blacks and latinos, away from the polls on election day. as you might imagine, some of the biggest balttles over these laws are being waged in some of the most important battleground states like ohio, pennsylvania and florida where the election could be decided if it's a close race. they appeal to the secretary of state as to whether all voters will be allowed to go to the polls on saturday, sunday and monday before the election. the state stream court told him he had to make sure there is enough time for voters to get i.d.s. and in florida, it's been a bruising battle over voting rights for the better part of the year. democrats won a few parts of this, republicans have as well. now it's coming down to a lawsuit filed by democratic congresswoman corinne brown as to how many hours polls will be open for early voting. why is all this important? well, it's about electoral votes. ohio has 18. pennsylvania has 20. and florida has 29. the candidate who wins or loses these states has a leg up in the race for the white house. back to you. >> yes, that is key, joe. appreciate that. and if you would like to see more on the legal battle over voting rights in florida, joe johns has an hour-long documentary premiering next month. tune i to "who counts" on october 14th at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. yoko ono you'll see there. we're going to talk to one of the husbands of the band. that's next. ♪ you give it bold new styling, unsurpassed luxury and nearly 1,000 improvements. introducing the redesigned 2013 glk. see your authorized mercedes-benz dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services. flo: every driver is different. we've got great news for them all. you can try snapshot from progressive before you switch your insurance.
