Georgia Voter Mobilization

Knocking on Doors 
 A report in response to our Web meeting. See post below.
​
Mijente PAC has about 75 people knocking on Latino doors full-time in Georgia, following a "civic engagement" non-partisan door-knocking educational campaign about elections and their importance since January carried out by non-profit GLAHR. which is formally not involved in Mijente PAC's anti-Trump campaign, although most of the people Mijente has hired are local GLAHR activists.
 
I believe there is a similar mijente Latino campaign in North Carolina. in addition to the one Duane mentioned in Arizona. The one in Georgia is perhaps the strongest because of GLAHR's community roots (we're celebrating a quarter century of organizing this year).

And because similar Georgia campaigns in 2020 and 2022 were decisive in Biden's razor-thin electoral college victory in GA and his preserving a Democrat majority in  the Senate in 2022. 

Georgia has an immigrant Latino population that overwhelmingly arrived since 1990,and especially in the construction boom for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics which continued for years afterwards., The 2010 census surprisingly showed that HALF of GA Latinos were U,S.-born -- and their median age was 11.  

And this has to do with the central lesson I learned in my two decades at CNN, as the lead producer in the Spanish-language operation for pre-election polls and especially election night exit polls. Elections in the United States are NOT decided by who "the people" vote for, but by which people vote.
