We know they’re the biggest voter block in Connecticut...and we know they’ll decide this year’s presidential election...

They have a wide range of ideas, but they’re unified in their disgust with the way things are working now. Journalist Linda Killian has been trying to figure out who they are and what kind of impact they could have in her book The Swing Vote: The Untapped Power of Independents.
