LGTB Voter Could Give Swing States To Kerry
[The Data Lounge]
In a hotly contested presidential election many experts predict may be as close as (or closer than) the 2000 election, gay and lesbian voters angered by President Bush's support of an anti-gay amendment could play a pivotal role in putting swing states into the blue column, Reuters reported Monday.
In such battleground states as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, where only a few hundred votes separated Bush from Democratic candidate Al Gore in 2000, mobilization by gay and lesbian voters could tip the balance in the favor of 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry. Exit polls from the 2000 election estimated that about one million self-identified gay and lesbian voters chose Bush. "We're talking about a few thousand votes that could decide this election," Chrissy Gephardt, lesbian daughter of Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri, told Reuters. "Given how close these elections have been, for gay and lesbian voters to come out makes a huge difference." San Francisco
