- Description:
- Newspaper article regarding how the Southern Black vote in the 1976 presidential election was the most decisive and influential single exercise of minority political power in this century. The Voter Education Project (VEP) conducted a preliminary survey of the effect of the Black vote on November 2, and found that between 60 and 70 percent of all registered Black voters turned out to vote. Over 95 percent of all southern Blacks were estimated to have cast their ballot for Jimmy Carter for President. The VEP study found that a recently-expanded base of registered Black voters and a record Black turnout combined to provide President-elect Jimmy Carter with the obvious margin of victory across the South, with the exception of Virginia.
