Pennsylvania sees surge in Black women and young people registering to vote

‘This data is suggesting that women, younger voters, voters of color, and then especially younger women of color are going to vote at a much higher rate than they did in 2020,’ one strategist says, predicting that it could have ‘a significant potential impact on the outcome of this election’

New voter registrations surged among Black women and young people in Pennsylvania when Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee for president, according to newly released data.

In the week that Joe Biden announced he would not run for re-election, new registrations increased by 262 per cent among Black women under 30 compared to the same week in 2020.

Registrations among Black voters increased by 110 per cent, and among voters under 30 years old by 59 per cent, also compared to the same week in 2020.

All of those demographic groups lean heavily towards voting for Democrats.

    That cuts both ways though. Trump lost the last election, and since then there have been a few things happen. How would Jan 6, and all the crimes Trump is convicted or indicted for affect the likeliness of an unlikely vote to go out and vote for him again?

    Something no one can know either way. There’s really no reason to bother considering the top line of the polling data. It’s all about looking at polling about the issues people are concerned about and addressing those concerns.

    Given we really have no way of knowing what will happen on election day, the only thing to do is to keep convincing people to vote for Harris right up to election day.
