Georgia’s Racial Turnout Gap Grew In 2022

Georgia’s Racial Turnout Gap Grew In 2022This report by Sara Loving and Kevin Morris is published by Brennan Center For Justice. Here is an excerpt: 

As state-by-state turnout data becomes available after the midterms, it’s clear that we remain in a period of high voter participation. Current estimates from the U.S. Elections Project suggest that turnout in the 2022 election was just a few percentage points shy of 2018, when turnout was the highest it had been in any midterm election in the past century.

Turnout in Georgia is especially worthy of examination, considering that its newly enacted Senate Bill 202 erected multiple barriers to voting in the state.
