Norman Williams hadnt voted in 52 years.
But the 75-year-old retired Atlanta resident cast his first ballot since 1968 earlier this month for Joe Biden for one simple reason: His intense desire to see President Donald Trump kicked out of office.
Its everything about him. Hes a narcissist, hes a liar, hes a racist, hes proven he doesnt know what hes doing, Williams said.
I had not thought about voting for years, because I always felt my one vote wasnt going to mean nothing, he added. But its too important now to not do it.
Williams is part of a fast-growing coalition of voters fueling a potentially major shift in the surprise 2020 battleground. Like him, they are freshly engaged in the political process, highly motivated and showing up in record-shattering numbers to vote early. Like him, most of these new voters are Black.

It is just going to make me more determined than ever, to vote, and do so proudly as I walk in front of any trump lovers in my neck of the woods. Which I probably won't see any around here where am I at. I've yet to see a single trump sign.
