Voting groups sound alarm on funding shortfalls that they say could affect midterm turnout
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Major voter engagement and racial justice organizations in the U.S. are experiencing significant funding shortfalls as the midterm elections approach. Groups like America Votes report being underfunded compared to previous election cycles, raising concerns about their ability to mobilize voters, particularly in communities of color. Donor support has dwindled since the 2024 presidential election, with many funders hesitant to back political causes due to fears of backlash. Organizations are adapting by utilizing technology and social media for voter outreach, but the lack of resources is forcing them to scale back their efforts significantly as they strive to engage voters before the elections.
