She apparently no one's talking about but it could have a serious impact on the presidential election talking about the foreclosure crisis Elizabeth MacDonald joins us now.
-- so that I've never been as interested or excited about a topic as this one.
Because no one's talking about it you'll let's talk to any pollster who's looking -- voter turnout and they will tell you they have no idea what's going to happen in this election.
Because they don't know where the voters went -- -- affected by foreclosures three point seven million foreclosures.
Since 2008641000.
In California alone.
Already University of California river -- had to say look.
Voter turnout was suppressed in 2008 because of foreclosures that here's the deal you can see in this heat map the hot spots that what we're going to be talking about.
California Florida and Nevada of course have been.
In obesity foreclosure hot -- that -- problems but all Ohio which is voted for every winning candidate since 1964.
And the people who weren't doing the polling for this election or seriously at a loss.
They do not know where this election is going to go because -- places like Cleveland and Columbus that -- solid it's probably one camp.
They are seeing record foreclosures they don't know where those people went and I don't know state and a lot of that's right that in the swing states and also -- really -- that they don't know where they live left this state whether they left that swing state.
The voter turnout is suppressed because of people just don't -- -- come out and vote they saw that in California in 2008.

Solidly middle class whereas the older voter may take over -- -- we don't know that just yet but there's been huge problems right now doing voter canvassing to figure out which way -- swing states these foreclosure states are gonna go so this is a serious issue that's not getting enough attention they think again in California they're gonna have levels of voter turnout that -- last -- in 1996.
And in 1968.
Low levels of lower voter turnout so watch out for this issue this is a hot issue that is coming up now with pollsters right now.
We really don't know -- this is gonna be nerve wracking and right down to the wire with this election.
Do -- for closure cry.
You know the Republicans are you better off than you -- four years ago that they've been asking and putting out there in reaction to the DNC -- these people these people foreclosed upon in these particular states.
Are more than likely to -- -- Because they're they're less likely to trust they have more anxiety they don't feel like going out even vote and when that happens.
They're neighbors did the same thing it's sort of sweeps the -- into the neighborhood.
Of where these -- closures or even people wanted to go out and vote.
They may not look because and that further suppresses turnout as well there's going to be a hot issue -- excited that -- -- the big one that's not something on the radar screen.
You know points in short I am sorry whenever whenever ever as we -- --
