NAACP launches drive to boost Black voter turnout in six key states
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The NAACP, the largest U.S. civil rights organization, is launching a drive ahead of November's presidential election to boost Black voter turnout in six key states, it said on Tuesday.
The initiative aims to enlist the services of about 200,000 "high-propensity" Black voters, or people who turned out to vote in a high number of recent local, state and presidential elections.
Those voters, in turn, will seek to mobilize so-called "low-frequency" Black voters - people who were registered to vote, but who had not voted in the most recent election cycle or several election cycles - in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The goal is to increase Black turnout by more than 5% compared to 2016. That year, Black voter turnout declined for the first time in 20 years, according to the Pew Research Center.
