LITHONIA – During Labor Day weekend in metro Atlanta, Harris-Walz surrogates and thousands of festival attendees gathered at the annual Atlanta Caribbean Jerk Festival in Lithonia. One group was looking to mobilize a voter block that oftentimes is assumed to be a Democratic layup, while the other was there to eat, dance, and be merry.
Metro Atlanta is a perfect example of how the United States actually looks. With nearly a half-million people , metro Atlanta’s voters represent demographics ranging from Asian-American to Hispanic-American to Caribbean American. DeKalb County, the fourth largest county in the state, might be the best example of that diversity.
