What's driving Asian American voters in Pennsylvania to the polls?
Asian American voters could influence the Presidential election in key states like Pennsylvania. What’s driving them to the polls?
According to the Pew Research Center, Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial group in the U.S. In Pennsylvania, the Asian American population has grown with a 55% increase in eligible Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) voters between 2010-2020. More than a fifth of Asian Americans live in Philadelphia, followed by Montgomery County and Allegheny County.
Those potential votes could be enough to swing the election in a state where the margins are razor-thin. In 2020, President Joe Biden won Pennsylvania with just over 80,000 votes.
Asian Americans are not a monolith, and their motivations to vote are diverse. Here is what some Asian Americans in Pennsylvania are saying about the upcoming election.
