Asian American voters want to be ‘seen and heard’ in 2024 election
Over the past 20 years, Asian Americans have been the fastest-growing group of eligible voters in the United States. In the past four years alone, they’ve added 2 million eligible voters. Among this diverse group are diverse political opinions. They make up 4% of Georgia’s electorate and own 89,000 businesses in the Peach State.
