DETROIT – We are just 20 days from Election Day and there has been a massive push from campaigns on all sides to get people to vote. Voter motivation is higher than ever among African Americans.
Wife and mother of three Autumn Evans said she’s already made up her mind on who she’s voting for.

“This election means everything to me and my family,” Evans said. “This election really made me cognizant of the fact that this country is not really protective of Black families.”
She said that’s why she is voting.
“Dismantling the racist systems, the prison pipeline, a lot of the housing inequality. Those are some of the most important issues to me,” Evans said.
In a recent poll for Local 4 and the Detroit News, pollster Richard Czuba was asked about what’s driving Black voters.
