Countless Elections Are Decided By Black Voters. Many More Are Decided By Black NON-Voters.
When comparing midterm to presidential election cycles, Black voters “drop off” at a rate of 2 to 8 percentage points greater than white voters. This drop off is more than the margin of victory in numerous congressional races and state elections.
BLACK MIDTERM VOTER PROJECT
During midterms, Black voters ”drop off” at a rate of 2–8 pp greater than white voters.

The Black Midterm Voter Project is an effort to examine the phenomenon of Black voter dropoff. Alongside partners Analyst Institute, HIT Strategies, NAACP, PushBlack, Voter Formation Project, and others, All Americans Vote hosted over 250 participants for our hybrid kick-off session on December 5, 2022 in Washington, D.C.
