Toledo Library and Museum Partner for Event Exploring Why Ohio Picks the President

Special to The Truth

Did you know that since 1896, Ohio voters have failed to favor the next president only twice? What about the Buckeye State makes it so special? Kyle Kondik, author of the new book The Bellwether: Why Ohio Picks the President, will appear on September 22 at the Toledo Museum of Art Peristyle. Just days ahead of the first presidential candidate debate, Kondik will shed light on the Buckeye State’s remarkable record as a predictor of presidential election winners.

The event is being presented jointly by the Toledo Museum of Art and the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, and is free and open to the public.
 

Kondik is managing editor for the nonpartisan political forecasting newsletter Sabato’s Crystal Ball, published by the University of Virginia Center for Politics. Using historical documentation and research, he will explain Ohio’s remarkable record for predicting presidential election results and why the state is essential to the 2016 election.

Kondik is the first of five speakers making appearances in Toledo this fall in conjunction with the Museum’s nonpartisan exhibition I Approve This Message: Decoding Political Ads. Additional speakers include University of Michigan political scientist Ted Brader; American Press Institute senior manager Jane Elizabeth; University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague; and media, entertainment and technology executive/advisor Don Levy.

A book signing and reception featuring light refreshments hosted by the Library Literati and funded by the Library Legacy Foundation will follow the presentation in Libbey Court. Literati is a growing group of young professionals and families, overseen and guided by the Library Legacy Foundation, and similarly dedicated to promoting the Library and enjoying its many outstanding programs and services.
