Commissioner Valerie White asks Candace Prince-Modeste of the NAACP if there is data on the number of younger Black individuals registering as non-affiliated voters.

This inquiry aims to understand if a trend towards non-affiliation might already be contributing to a dilution of partisan voting strength within the Black community.

Ms. Prince-Modeste states she can look into providing such data.

What well, hi.

Thank you both for your testimony.

What also would be helpful is to see if there is a statistical movement for younger younger people in particular, because you're in double AATP.

Right?
1:00:09
Black people that are moving toward not a nonaffiliation registration because that's all you know, do you have sort of a natural dilution that's happening because of what's changing in society?
1:00:23
If that's, not an issue, that would or if it is an issue, that would be good data for us to have.
Candace Prince-Modeste
1:00:29
Sure.
1:00:29
I can definitely look on for both of those data points.
Valerie White
