Carter Ohio visit highlights campaign disarray and apathy
In Cleveland, Carter's campaign faced disarray and weak local registration. Just 3,071 new voters registered on Sept. 8 in Cuyahoga County, far below 1972 and 1968 levels, with black wards showing the lowest turnout. Carter focused on a Metzenbaum fundraiser, provoking critics by sidelining local party and labor leaders and risking broader northern support.
