Ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., does not believe President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict will cause him to lose the support of Black voters.   While Black voters are concerned about “innocent people being killed” and “want to make sure that humanitarian aid is getting to Palestinians,” Meeks told theGrio that he also believes they want “fairness” and “understand that Israel does have the right to exist and defend itself.” Meeks […]

Obama could be Biden’s secret weapon with Black voters

Florida’s six-week ban will disproportionately harm Black Americans. Voters could change that in November

After Florida enacted one of the strictest abortion bans in the country earlier this week, lawmakers and advocates are decrying how it will disproportionately harm Black and brown Americans. The ban’s ultimate fate, however, lies in the hands of voters in November. On Monday, the majority-conservative Florida Supreme Court voted to keep in place the state’s 15-week abortion ban that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law in 2022. The bill also triggered a six-week abortion ban that DeSantis signed […]

April Albright, legal director and chief of staff at Black Voters Matter, said the decision from a three-judge federal panel is “disappointing and discouraging.” […]

An old ‘IT outage’ alert confuses voters in Ga. county with largest number of Black voters, raises questions about ‘cheating’

Warnings of an “unexpected IT outage” Tuesday on the election website of Georgia’s most populous county prompted alarm on social media about potential problems with the state’s presidential primary, concerns election officials quickly dispelled. A red banner atop county webpages warning of a “System Outage” was actually related to a January cyberattack that temporarily crippled government services in Fulton County, which includes Atlanta. It did not indicate any problems with Tuesday’s voting, officials said. “Today has gone relatively uneventful, smooth,” Secretary of […]
