What’s motivating Georgia’s Muslim voters ahead of the midterm elections?  CBS News

There are roughly 100,000 registered Muslim voters across Georgia, with most living in metro Atlanta. As

midterm contests are expected to be close, turnout among those voters could affect the results.

Georgia’s Muslim electorate is estimated at about 100,000 people who are registered to vote. The figure is presented as an approximation, not a precise tally. A majority of these voters live in the Atlanta metropolitan region, indicating that the community’s registered voting population is concentrated there. The available information identifies metro Atlanta as the area containing most of the state’s Muslim registrants while describing the estimate as statewide. Electoral significance is framed conditionally: the expected closeness of the midterm races means participation by this group could affect results.

The evidence does not say that the voters will determine any contest, only that their turnout has the potential to matter when margins are close. Efforts to get these registrants to vote are therefore relevant to the contests’ possible outcomes, particularly because most of the estimated statewide total is in metro Atlanta.
