Oswego, NY – This presidental election year, the media and the candidates have been focusing on so-called "swing states."

As WRVO's Elizabeth Christensen reports, it's been a long time since New York has swayed the electoral vote... but that doesn't mean the candidates should gloss over their time in the Empire State.
