âWeâre tracking something really interesting going on right now. Itâs a surge in voter registration in key groups ahead of the November election. Among young Black women, registration is up more than 175%. You heard that right. More than 175% in 13 states. Thatâs compared to the same time in 2020. This, according to the data firm Target Smart, registration has also increased among young Latinas and Black Americans,â Garrett began, adding:
âYouâre right to repeat the number because I more than triple-checked it. Itâs incredibly unusual to see changes in voter registration that are anywhere close to this. I mean, there might be 175% is almost tripling of registration rates among this specific group. You just donât see that sort of thing happen in elections normally,â Bonier replied.
