Black voter turnout appears high on Election Day, according to voter coalition
LaTosha Brown of Black Voters Matter says turnout in some 2026 states seemed to rival 2008, appearing especially high in Michigan and Mississippi, and that more than 2,000 poll observers reported no widescale issues for voters. Melanie Campbell of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation says her group is monitoring through counting, certifications, and inaugurations, saying, "As those of us who believe that this democracy is for all people, we have to also stand in the gap."
