North Carolina organizers are trying to replicate Stacey Abrams’s Georgia voter-turnout strategy in a bet that they can also deliver key Democratic wins in a similarly changing Southern U.S. state.
The effort, called the New North Carolina Project, is modeled after Abrams’s New Georgia Project. It aims to register minority voters. The two organizations aren’t affiliated, but the North Carolina initiative has received strategic insight, the group’s founder, Aimy Steele, said in an interview.
