Turning Out the Vote

We are a month away from the U.S. presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Polls have consistently shown the candidates locked in a tight race, suggesting that voter turnout could be crucial in deciding the winner. Our guest today is Mindy Romero, director of the USC Price School’s Center for Inclusive Democracy. She has conducted research focused on turnout for voters of color, who remain under-represented at the polls despite substantial population growth. We’ll discuss her survey’s findings, what’s driving racial disparities in voter participation and how we can get more people to the ballot box.
