WHERE YOUR VOTE IS MOST DECISIVE
The Black turnout gap widened most dramatically here — concentrated entirely among younger Black men. In 2024, just 71% of Black men under 50 who voted in 2020 returned to cast a ballot. That drop alone altered Georgia’s outcome.
2026 Stakes: Senate race, governor, and multiple House seats. Republicans are already redrawing Georgia’s maps after Callais.
Register in Georgia →The Detroit metro Black male registration gap has decided Michigan statewide races for a generation. An open Senate seat in 2026 makes this the most contested state in the nation.
2026 Stakes: Open Senate seat could flip control of the entire U.S. Senate. Black voter turnout in Wayne County is the deciding factor.
Register in Michigan →Home to one of America’s largest HBCU clusters — Morehouse, NCCU, NC A&T, Shaw, and more. With Thom Tillis retiring, the Senate seat is open and competitive for the first time in years.
2026 Stakes: Open Senate seat, governor’s race, and multiple legislative seats where Black registration is the decisive variable.

MORE STATES WHERE BLACK VOTES DECIDE
The Philadelphia Black male registration gap is Senate and presidential-race decisive. The city that can swing the whole state — and has done it before.
Register in PA →The largest total unregistered Black male count of any state in America. Republican redistricting after Callais is already underway, making every registered voter more powerful.
Register in TX →Within one hour of the Callais ruling, Florida Republicans passed an aggressive gerrymander. Black voting power is being stripped in real time. Registration is the only answer.
Register in FL →Cleveland and Columbus Black male registration gaps have decided Ohio Senate races multiple times. A purple state where Black turnout is the swing variable every single cycle.
Register in OH →Milwaukee Black male underregistration was a decisive factor in 2016. Wisconsin has been decided by margins of less than 1% in back-to-back presidential elections. Every Brother counts.
Register in WI →Arizona’s Black population is growing rapidly and the state has become increasingly competitive. Decided by fewer than 11,000 votes in 2020. An organized Black registration drive here changes the map.
Register in AZ →MAPS ARE BEING REDRAWN RIGHT NOW
After the April 29, 2026 Callais ruling, Republican-controlled states immediately began redrawing congressional and legislative maps to eliminate majority-Black districts. In 10 Southern state legislatures, more than 190 seats currently held by Black representatives are at risk of being drawn out of existence.
The only response that works is registration at a scale large enough that no map can silence it. That is what VoteBrother is building.
