High levels of minority voter turnout were credited with swinging the results of several high-profile special elections over the past year. As this year’s midterm elections draw near, it is clear that the votes of minority populations—particularly black, Latino, and Asian Americans—may once again prove influential. How will turnout among these groups compare to past years? Will President Trump’s policies and an increase in black and Latino candidates invigorate left-leaning minority voters, or will voter suppression efforts thwart the potential “blue wave” that would sweep in a Democratic majority in the House?
On November 1, Governance Studies at Brookings will host a panel of experts to discuss these questions as they relate to the upcoming elections. Panelists will discuss how minority voter turnout will influence the outcome of the 2018 midterms as well as the crosscutting forces that affect minority turnout.
After the session, panelists will take audience questions. Follow along on Twitter with #2018voters.
Panel (seated left to right):
* Fredrick C. Harris (Moderator), Nonresident Senior Fellow - Governance Studies
* Kimberly Atkins, Washington Bureau Chief - The Boston Herald
* Christine Chen, Executive Director - APIAVote
* Michael Fauntroy, Associate Professor, Political Science - Howard University

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
