minus-squareSalamendacious@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down3·8 months agoYou’re right. The article talks about a drop from 91 to 88%, which is small. Small numbers like that though can shift tight elections. Biden won Georgia by 12,000 votes & over 3 million Georgians are black so a drop 3 percent could be huge. 12,000 is .04% of 3 million. Registered voters does not equal total population but a small drop could change the Senate or who’s in the white house.
