A closer look at the reasons behind Detroit's low voter turnout this election cycle.

While important issues were on the ballot during this year's November elections, many Detroiters didn't make their way to the polls. In a special American Black Journal report, BridgeDetroit reporter Bryce Huffman and American Black Journal producer AJ Walker report on Detroit's historically low voter turnout. We'll hear why some residents go to the polls and why others choose not to vote.
