Days before the Senate runoffs in Georgia this month, a canvasser with the Latino progressive political group Mijente knocked on the door of an 80-year-old man who didn’t know there was an election or who was running.
The man asked the canvasser to talk to him about who was best for the community, and that’s who would get his vote, said Tania Unzueta Carrasco, political director for Mijente, who related the story told to her by a canvasser.
“Here in Georgia, the support of the two candidates was a little bit of a trust exercise,” Unzueta Carrasco told NBC News. “We were looking at the bigger picture. We were looking at the fact that if they didn’t win, we wouldn’t have a Democratic majority.”
