THE GREENSBORO TIMES Black Votes > from page 1


Department of Justice for pre-approval within a certain period of time be- fore an election. Justices used the election of President Barack Obama in 2008, and the most diverse electorate in our nation’s history, to justify the ruling, noting that it was unfair to continue penalizing states for an issue that had evidently passed on.


However, before the ink was dry on the Supreme Court’s ruling,


Republican state legislatures including North Carolina, Texas, and Wis- consin, passed new laws making voter access harder and targeting likely Democratic voters—African Americans, Hispanics, seniors, and students. These methods included tougher voter ID requirements, eliminating early and weekend voting, and cutting poll hours.


While this election will be the first national contest held with the


VRA in shambles, recent court rulings rolling back these restrictive state laws will renew efforts to make it easier to vote. This is critically important in several key states where minority votes will make a big difference.


Key states with high minority voting populations include Colorado,


Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. While Donald Trump and the GOP are hoping to redraw the electoral map and take a few recently consistent Democratic states including Michigan and Pennsylva- nia, minority votes, and particularly black voters, may provide a firewall for Hillary Clinton.


In fact, recent polls have been so favorable toward Clinton that she


has stopped advertising in Pennsylvania for now. Even the state of Geor- gia is in play this fall thanks in part to a large black voting population in Atlanta and its suburbs.

ticularly with African American women who voted in higher percentages than any other voting bloc in 2012. With Clinton’s historic nomination, we should expect the group to show up and show out again in 2016 and bring along their male counterparts.


Once again, black votes will matter continuing a trend that will im- pact our presidential elections for years to come.
