Axios: “Sen. Kamala Harris appealed to Black voters in Georgia on Friday, urging them to “honor the ancestors” by casting ballots, and again calling President Trump a ‘racist.’ The U.S. saw a significant decline in African-American voter turnout between 2012 and 2016, reaching its lowest point since 2000. Higher turnout among Black Americans this year could tip the balance in favor of Democrats in key battleground states, including Georgia.”
“Black voters overwhelmingly prefer Democrat Joe Biden, but Trump is earning more support nationally from Black men than he received in 2016 — 17% — up from 14%, Axios’ Alexi McCammond notes. ‘We’re not going to let anyone mess with our right to vote,’ she said at a “Get Out the Vote” rally at Morehouse College in Atlanta. ‘Voting is about honoring those ancestors, honoring what they fought for and what they sacrificed for our right to vote,’ she said.”
