Asian American voter turnout doubled last cycle in Georgia — and Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker see the voting bloc as potentially decisive in a close race
Aisha Yaqoob Mahmood, executive director of the Asian American Advocacy Fund, said she is confident that the organization will have enough resources to run its field outreach operation. But she argued that the group’s strategy is more effective when it is bolstered by digital and mail ads. While it has run some of each, she said it’s not the full gamut of its program because of a lack of funds.
Neil Makhija, executive director of Indian American Impact, said “people in 2020 would do anything to get Trump out of office, and they were willing to invest and recognize every community and leave no stone unturned.” Whether Democratic institutional supporters will do the same when Trump isn’t on the ticket, though, is “an open question.”
“It’s really trying to help them understand that the big shifts that we will see in the country will come from expanding the electorate,” she said. “With this partisan politics right now, we’re going to get fewer and fewer people that are ticket-splitting or switching from one party to another.” In the 2020 election, about 40 percent of Asian American voters in Georgia voted remotely — 14 percentage points higher than the statewide average,. Asian American advocates said that is due to the high rates of limited English proficiency in the community, with many people needing extra time and guidance to cast their ballots.
