ATLANTA — Over the last week, LaTosha Brown has been in full-throttle mode, leading grassroots voting rights activists fanning across Georgia, canvassing door to door, hosting screenings of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," dancing to hip-hop outside polling stations.
But after watching people wait more than an hour in some metro Atlanta areas to vote in the Senate runoff race, Brown is uncertain whether her group's efforts to increase turnout will be enough to secure a win for Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock over Republican Herschel Walker on Tuesday.
"It's a tight race. The Democratic base is fired up," said Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, which has spent $2.5 million to boost turnout in the runoff. "We can't out-organize voter suppression, but we're just doing everything we can to win."
