Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.
Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.
Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.
Not calling you out because I’ve been guilty of this before, but this is a great reason to vote in every election, local all the way up to presidential!
Not only will your vote have more impact in local elections (due to even worse turnout), but you know you won’t be unfairly purged from voter rolls. Probably…
Also local governments have a greater impact on your day to day life.
