Karl Rove said Trump has to hope that turnout 'in Philadelphia remains at the 2016 level, particularly in the African-American community.'

A 2017 report by FiveThirtyEight, which cited polling data by SurveyMonkey, explained that"of all voters who cast a ballot in the general election, 25 percent were black, Hispanic, Asian, or a member of another minority group. But those voters were 42 percent of those who didn't vote. Drilling down a little further, black voters made up 11 percent of voters who cast a ballot and 19 percent who didn't.

Considering Trump narrowly won Pennsylvania by just 0.7 percent of the state's vote, even a relatively minor dip or increase in turnout from any segment of voters could potentially be the difference between victory for the president or Biden. Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly claimed that he has been the best president for Black Americans besides Abraham Lincoln—who put an end to slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. Trump's claim has been widely panned and mocked by his critics, as he is viewed as overtly racist by many Democrats. According to Pew Research polling released earlier this month, 89 percent of Black voters were leaning toward or strongly supporting Biden.

Although only 13.4 percent of the U.S. population is Black, some 33 percent of the inmates detained in U.S. prisons are Black. Pew Research Center reported in May that Black Americans are imprisoned at a rate five times higher than white Americans.

Who has some statistics? I'm curious to know what % of black voters vote for the Democrat presidential candidate.

Voter Suppression is their name, Cheating is their game. GOP

An interview the other day showed false social media to see if voters thought they were real or not & most could not tell. They are trying to drive down black voting. This is the time to speak loudly and directly to a man who listens to no one... VOTE!

Well here is praying they turn out 100%

So voter suppression is the way to win now?

Trump will have a landslide win. Biden/Obama voter fraud organization has FAILED.

My goodness you all pull stuff out of your ass FakeNewsMedia

They don't know what nobody needs all they know is lies

Maybe Jared can GOTV there.

Republicans want Covid to spread because it’s disproportionately killing minorities and minorities tend to vote Democrat. It’s a cull. Stop thinking they’re not that evil. They are. Genocide is their path to power and they know it.

When the only way you can win is by suppressing the vote...
