The Power of Unity:

By LA Wright

How Many Votes Would Go to Our Candidate of Choice?

Imagine the impact if every Black voter in the United States united behind a single candidate. According to recent data, there are approximately 32 million Black Americans eligible to vote¹. If all of them cast their ballots for one candidate, that candidate would receive a significant boost in the popular vote.

To put this into perspective, in the 2020 presidential election, about 159 million people voted². If 32 million Black voters supported one candidate, that would represent roughly 20% of the total votes cast. This level of support could be a game-changer in a closely contested election, potentially swaying the outcome in favor of the chosen candidate.

The unity of Black voters has historically played a crucial role in elections, and this hypothetical scenario underscores the immense power of a unified voting bloc. By coming together, Black voters can ensure their voices are heard and their interests are represented at the highest levels of government.
