- It should be obvious to everyone that Bidenβs win in #Georgia would not have been possible without high Black turnout + Democratic support. Today there should be ZERO narratives that center white moderates as instrumental. This is a story of Black organizing and empowerment.
- #GASenateRunoff (most) Election Day vote history is here! Final-ish turnout in runoff, as percent of general turnout: Total: 89.6% White: 89.5% Black: 91.8% Latino: 78.1% Asian: 84.1% π¨At least 226,462 new voters in runoff, 50%+ non-white. 91k+ Black, 10k+ Latino, 9k+ Asian.π¨
- Replying to @blfragaAgain, Black turnout at 92% of what it was in Nov, and 91k+ new Black voters, is a testament to years of work empowering Black Georgians. If Black drop off/mobilization was = whites, both Warnock and Ossoff would have lost. @nseufot @NewGAProject @MsLaToshaBrown @cliff_notes
- GA is the first state to release full vote history for 2024. As a share of the citizen voting-age population, turnout rates went up for all groups compared to 2020 π¨except Black Georgiansπ¨ #gapol @bluestein @MurphyAJC @cliff_notes @blkprofcct @markniesse @nattheproducer

- In 2008, 61% of voting-age Latinxs in CA were citizens. In 2020, 75% are citizens. Similar numbers for TX. Do your hot takes on the "Latino Vote" take into account how quickly the Latinx electorate is changing?
