- Description:
- Press release from the Voter Education Project regarding results from a study conducted by VEP's Research Department, which found that one third of the counties in eleven southern states had a 1980 Black population of 27% or higher, according to Voter Education Project, Inc. (VEP). Further, one out of every thirteen counties had Black majority populations. This data showed that there were numerous opportunities for voter registration and voter turnout activities in the South, which could greatly influence southern politics.
