‘Party at the polls’ in battleground state
In the battleground state of Georgia, our correspondent Cordelia Lynch covered a “party at the polls” in Fulton County, Atlanta, where black and brown residents were urged to cast their votes as they passed by.
One of the organisers said there had been a “lot of enthusiasm”.
“We will throw a whole block party for those who need to vote [if needed]”, she said, describing their set-up near the Metropolitan Library as a “party at the polls”.
Another organiser, Horace Cooper, said he had been knocking on doors around Atlanta to get black and brown communities out to vote.
He insisted he wasn’t hearing that black men are not voting for Ms Harris – despite reports of low support for the vice president in the community, which prompted Barack Obama to intervene.
Mr Cooper said households in his community were run by women and he didn’t think the fact that Ms Harris is a woman will put off the black vote.
