Amazing numbers from vote.org! [View all]

Per email from vote.org —

American voters are incredibly energized, and Vote.org’s programs to register them are capturing a historic surge. Here’s what we’re seeing behind the scenes:

  • 700% spike in voter registrations after President Joe Biden said he wouldn’t seek reelection

  • 146,000 new voters registered on Vote.org in one week

  • 83% of new voters registered on Vote.org are 18-34 years old

  • 257,000 more 18-year-old voters registered through July than at the same point in the last election cycle


Wow! Great momentum. https://www.vote.org/
