The political science student at Clark Atlanta University says issues such as climate change are getting her to vote again in Georgia’s January runoffs.
Voters under 30 years old in Georgia came out in record numbers to cast their ballots in the general election. And political parties and advocates want to make sure young progressive voters have the same energy to show up to polls again for the runoff races.
Data shows that young voters made up 20% of Georgians who cast ballots in the general election, according to the non-partisan Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning Engagement, or CIRCLE, at Tufts University. And those votes, especially from young Black voters, helped President-elect Joe Biden clinch the state in November. Democratic candidates want to make sure these voters show up again.
