    >But the surge of new voters, especially young people and people of color, could give Harris an edge in Georgia, which Biden won narrowly in 2020.

    >Most new registrants are young; some 56 percent are 34 or under, with 18-year-olds accounting for about 20 percent. More than half (about 53 percent) are voters of color.

    We are trying. Everybody I know is reminding people to double check their registration. They are encouraging their friends, family, and co-workers to register. And we are singing from the same hymnal to inform people of just how important it is to vote this year.

    We know that MAGA is working hard to prevent us from voting to take Georgia back. We just refuse to let them without a fight.

  3. I love it when young people vote. Republicans hate it.

    Republicans don’t believe in climate change and young people need a world to live in.

    Republicans don’t believe in democracy. Young people want to be able to vote and have their voice heard.

    Republicans don’t believe in worker rights. Young people need to work and be treated fairly.

  4. this is invigorating news! 38,000 more Democrat registrations than Republican, +64,000 additional unaffiliated voters. The data is through September 8, so the trend may continue until election day in Georgia. If the Harris campaign has a decent ground game, the outlook in that state looks significantly more positive now.

  5. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-georgia-boost-new-voters-1958996) reduced by 86%. (I’m a bot)

    > More than 129,000 voters have registered in Georgia since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, which could be a good sign for Vice President Kamala Harris.

    > Harris has a 31-point lead over Trump among likely voters under 30, according to a new Harvard Institute of Politics survey.

    > Recent polls have shown Harris "Not meeting the level of support from minorities that she would need to win Georgia. To the extent that the ranks of minority voters are increasing at rates greater than White voters, this is potentially good news for the Harris campaign," he said.

  6. Tomorrow’s headline: 120,000 voters purged from Georgia voting rolls because reasons.

    Us young people are sick and tired of the older generations fucking us over!! We are taking a stand!! ✊

    120,000 voters through one polling location that only has 20k ballots. Seems like the obvious play by Georgia GOP.

  9. solitudeisdiss on

    I wonder how many of those were people who were originally “purged” and had to register again

  10. THIS is the kind of news that makes me worry less about polls. Polls are one indicator of momentum in an election, but they are more indicative of how older voters will vote. Registrations tell us how new voters will vote. If polls are close, registrations are up, and logic prevails, Harris should have the upper hand in all the swing states.

    The right will claim they are all illegal immigrants “imported” by the current admin to vote for the Dems

  12. All she needs to find…is 120,000 new voters.

    Because she’s going to win Georgia by a lot.

  13. As a reminder, I check my voting status each week here in Georgia. Everyone should check theirs to make sure you haven’t been purged from the voting list!!!!

    this despite how magat terrorists are trying to destroy democratic processes by preventing registration and plotting criminal tactics to prevent a successful election count. We need to overwhelm magat fascists with real people-driven democracy.

    They better check their registration every day. As should everyone. You never know who could be looking at tens of thousands of voters and just say “no” and purge them from voter rolls

    If this true, how do we know that these young folks are going to vote for her? Aren’t young men becoming more conservative while young women are a bit more liberal?

  17. Wide_Cardiologist761 on

    Harris is going to win 6 of the 7 swing states. It won’t be that close in the end.

  18. Hopeful. Can’t imagine Trump is gaining hundreds of thousands of new voters at any given time.

  19. LugubriousFootballer on

    This is great news because although younger voters are lower propensity, people registering this late in the cycle are probably doing so because they WANT to participate.

  20. I just signed up to vote in Georgia after moving here! Was surprisingly easy too!

    Can’t wait until we beat Trump.
