- Description:
- Press release from the Voter Education Project regarding a study by the Voter Education Project and the Atlanta University Policy Center, which found that the Black vote was crucial to Wyche Fowler's victory in the 1986 Senate race in Georgia. The study found that Black voters turned out at a higher rate than white voters, and they voted overwhelmingly for Fowler. The study also found that Mattingly's endorsement by Ronald Reagan was a major factor in the decline in Black support for him.
