FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — In the final stretch of the midterm election campaign, Florida Democrats are pushing, cajoling and pleading with Black voters to turn out and cast their ballots.
Candidates and their surrogates are campaigning in African American and Caribbean American communities throughout the state, hoping to capture attention and excitement. Without a robust turnout of Black voters, Democrats have no path to victory.
“I understand that there’s this bit of apathy in our community when people may feel, ‘How does this impact me? How does this impact my day-to-day life?’” William Murphy, an Atlanta pastor and recording artist, told a couple of dozen voters and activists Friday in Fort Lauderdale, imploring them to do everything they can to convince people voting is important.
