Tuesday on Political Rewind: Voters head to the polls in runoff elections in communities across Georgia. Elections include mayoral races in four cities, including Atlanta and Brunswick, Ga. The 2021 races have drawn low turnout so far. "Less than 25% of registered voters in Atlanta voted in early November, and now you know you're seeing less than half that," Emory University professor Dr. Bernard Fraga said. "So I think the question is whether you're going to see a surge of turnout again in some of these swing areas." In other news, Gov. Brian Kemp won the endorsement of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce this week. During his previous gubernatorial bid in 2018, the influential business entity chose not to endorse him. Will their stamp of approval in the current race be helpful in a potential GOP primary from David Perdue?

Wednesday on Political Rewind: Religious leaders representing more than 1,000 churches staged a voting rights rally at the state Capitol yesterday. They said they will use Georgia's new election laws as proof that congress must pass federal legislation removing barriers they say limit access to the vote for minority communities. Meanwhile, congressional Democrats are facing resistance from Republicans to pass any election reform measure, including a bill named for the late Georgia U.S. Rep. John Lewis. Our panel discuss how more restrictive election laws, passed in Georgia and many other GOP-led states, can ultimately affect turnout. Emory University's Dr. Bernard Fraga said it is difficult to detect the influence of individual provisions, such as changes to absentee ballot voting periods or polling station closing times. "All of these [measures] might interact with each other to depress turnout among certain groups or depress turnout overall, even though a single provision, in isolation, might not have much of a detectable effect," Fraga said. In other news today, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed filed the paperwork necessary to run in his year's mayoral race. Panelists: Dr. Bernard Fraga — Professor of Political Science, Emory University Rep. Sam Park — State Representative (D-Gwinnett County) Mayor Julie Smith — Mayor of Tifton Greg Bluestein — Politics Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Remember those twelve months where every ad was asking you to vote? It was inescapable. Gilda Pedraza and her team worked around the clock to ensure Latino voters in Georgia had the information they needed to cast their ballot. But even with historic voter turnout, a third of eligible adults didn’t vote. Bernard Fraga says that’s a political failure, and not the failure of individual voters. Plus: Kathleen Hale and Mitchell Brown have spent years traveling the country talking to election officials. Why they say this past election has forever transformed the voting process in America. Later in the show: Young people feel ignored by politicians, and politicians feel ignored by young people. So the cycle repeats. A lot of young people don’t vote, and politicians opt out of spending money trying to reach them. Evette Dionne says that new media engages the young voters who politicians ignore.

Voter turnout will be key to which party wins Tuesday's Senate runoff election in the US state of Georgia.

As America gets closer to the 2020 presidential election, everyone wants to know, “Who will run?” But there’s another important question to ask: ”Who will turn out to vote?” There’s a gap in voter turnout between white people and people of color -- a gap that has an impact on election outcomes, and on our democracy. So where does this turnout gap come from? Who votes, who doesn’t vote, and why? Indiana University’s Bernard Fraga wrestles with these questions in his new book, "The Turnout Gap: Race, Ethnicity, and Political Inequality in a Diversifying America." Here, Fraga explores the historical roots of these disparities and argues that it’s up to politicians, parties, and us to fix them.

Following a historic election, we return again to the question of turnout. Who turned out in large numbers to shift power in the House back to the Democrats? What we know about the past is that there are substantial gaps in turnout between different groups. White Americans have turned out in larger numbers that many other racial and ethnic groups. This much is well-know, but what explains these gaps? Is it political interest, barrier to voting, or something else? Such is the focus of Bernard Fraga's new book The Turnout Gap: Race, Ethnicity, and Political Inequality in a Diversifying America (Cambridge University Press, 2018). Fraga is assistant professor of political science at Indiana University. Fraga finds that the common explanations don't always hold up when you examine rigorous data and use advanced methods. He argues for a theory of electoral influence based on the relative size of the racial and ethnic population in a voting district. In districts where minority groups make up a relatively small portion of the electorate, turnout tends to be low. In other districts, where the group makes up a larger portion, turnout tends to be much higher. These findings, and others, explain a lot about the 2018 election and future elections and campaigns.
