(The Center Square) – In the Peach State, almost all demographics had an increase in turnout from the 2020 election.
Only Black voters decreased in turnout, a possible contributing factor to Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss in the state to Donald Trump. As a share of the citizen voting-age population, Black voters were the only demographic with a decline in turnout.
