(gunfire) the sheriff was struck on the shoulder and elbow. african-americans could tip the balance in the battleground states, especially here in ohio if they turn out as strongly for clinton as they did for obama. and here where many worship at that all-institutional baptist church. >> i think what is going to happen, people are going to have to vote with passion and purpose. because this election is not simply significant, because every election is important. this is existential, when you look at what is happening around the country, you won't vote, vote? >> in the neighborhoods, reverend colvert is getting out the votes. lisa says she will be counted. >> we have to have a president. these are the two choices. >> my wife says if you don't vote you can't complain. >> that's right, that's right. when african-americans vote in large numbers in ohio, ohio votes democratic? >> yes. >> and when they don't come to the polls, ohio votes republican >> i'm going to pray that they come to the polls. >> but you're not feeling the ground swell? >> i'm not hearing it. >> when you look at the congregation before the election, what are you going to say? >> i'm going to say when you go to the polls, think about what you're taking with you. you're taking your kids, grand kids, and kids unborn. >> hillary clinton is also concerned that voters might change their minds in the last minute because of that fbi e-mail investigation. here is michelle miller. >> reporter: at price hill chili restaurant in hamilton county this morning, they served up hot coffee, scrambled eggs and a >> i'm standing by hillary. >> i'm really rooting trump this year. >> reporter: the f.b.i.'s decision to reopen hillary clinton's email investigation doesn't seem to be changing many minds. are people pretty much just dug in? >> i think they are pretty much set at this point. >> reporter: the controversy isn't a big deal for 60-year-old kim chappelle, a lifelong republican who is voting for clinton. isn't this a new round of emails? >> it is. but from the previous, all the previous email incidents, nothing ever became of it, so i'm figuring nothing is becoming >> reporter: 75-year-old david stanger says the f.b.i. review confirms he's making the right choice with donald trump. >> the fact that they opened up the investigation tells me that there's more things that she's done, that we don't know about. >> reporter: neighbors are displaying their support with political yard signs. james gillespie, a democrat who campaigned twice for obama, is switching parties this year. >> a lot of the corruption that i saw in hillary clinton is coming out in the news right i'm not willing to support her. >> reporter: back at the restaurant, kim chappelle thinks trump is unelectable. >> i couldn't on good conscience vote for donald trump. i just couldn't do it. >> reporter: early voting began here in ohio nearly three weeks ago, scott. so even before the controversy broke on friday, more than a million ballots had already been cast, statewide. >> pelley: michelle, thanks very like to change the subject to the economy. chip reid spoke to small business owners for our series, "closing arguments." >> reporter: so what are you making here? >> i am making peanut butter buckeyes. >> reporter: buckeyes. >> yes. >> reporter: fall is candy season and it's when talk in donna mcnemar's candy shop, coco beans in sandusky county, ohio, turns to politics. sandusky is a swing county. president obama won it twice, but so did george w. bush. and who would you like to see win this election? >> i would like to see donald trump win this election. >> reporter: mcnemar says she especially likes his plans for the economy. >> when you want business to grow, would you not need somebody that knows business? >> reporter: she prefers trump's current plan on the minimum wage. he wants the states to decide. clinton supports a minimum as high as $15 an hour. >> if we're forced to pay $15 for minimum wage, guess who's going to work more hours? me. because i'm going to have to lay i can't-- you know, we can't handle that kind of increase. >> reporter: she also favors trump's tax plan with across-the-board cuts, the biggest for the wealthiest. clinton's plan would raise taxes on the rich. >> i understand that they're wealthy and they make a lot of money, but i also understand that they worked really hard for that money, and if they have to pay more taxes, it has to go somewhere. it's going to come down to me. >> reporter: across the county, in bellevue, ohio, richard stegman has a very different view. you're a big fan of hillary clinton? >> reporter: stegman owns the victorian tudor inn. >> all right, ladies, here we go. >> reporter: a b & b he bought right before the recession. >> i was this close, so close, to actually losing everything. >> reporter: he credits the president's policy with turning the economy around and thinks clinton would stay the course. on the economic front, what do you like most about hillary clinton? >> well, i think it all goes under the umbrella of her experience. that? >> i personally, for the last several years, have been paying my staffs anywhere from $14 to $15 an hour. you know, that's smart business. >> reporter: that's well above the minimum wage. >> yes, because i need good people. >> reporter: and he prefers clinton's tax policies to trump's. >> her tax proposal benefits a wide variety of people, and that's what we need. we don't need a tax policy that really benefits just a small segment. i think hers is very broad. >> reporter: you think she'll help the middle class more than donald trump? >> oh, oh, oh, clearly, yes. >> reporter: two small business owners on opposite sides, in a county that could determine which way this battleground state swings. chip reid, cbs news, sandusky county, ohio. >> pelley: and it will be determined, a week from tonight. cbs news election night coverage will begin next tuesday at 7:00 eastern time. higher gasoline prices. and later, a city making a comeback.
