In recent elections, voter participation has surged, notably rising from 59% in 2016 to a modern high of 66% in 2020, reflecting a growing engagement among eligible voters.
Race significantly influences electoral outcomes, with 71% of white voters participating in 2020, compared to 58.4% of non-white voters, indicating disparities in voter engagement.
Voting patterns show a strong correlation between race and party allegiance, with 87% of Black voters supporting Democrats and a majority of white voters leaning Republican in the 2020 election.
Changes to voting laws in several states, particularly those with Republican governance, have made voter registration more difficult, disproportionately affecting non-white voter turnout and participation.
