A Deeper Look at Georgia’s Fast-Changing Electorate
Wednesday, April 15th, 2015
Georgia’s electorate is morphing even faster than some experts predicted, according to a new analysisprojecting the state’s demographic evolution through 2060. “I sometimes feel like Georgia flies under the radar,” said Ruy Teixeira of the Center for American Progress. “But things are changing there so quickly.”
The analysis was done by the Center for American Progress, the American Enterprise Institute and William H. Frey from the Brookings Institute as part of a report on the demographic evolution of the American electorate. It shows that Georgia could become a majority-minority state in 2025 and that minorities could outnumber whites among eligible voters by 2036.
