This report details the Center's efforts to register 147,029 new voters and mobilize over 275,000 in low-income and minority communities. Partnering with 53 grassroots organizations in 26 states, CCC's Community Voting Project targeted low-income communities to help reverse the perception that these communities are politically inactive and powerless.
The impact was significant. Outreach eclipsed the margin of victory in five states, and the Center's precincts performed 7.1 percent higher than comparable precincts.
