Press release from the Voter Education Project The Voter Education Project (VEP) reporting that the number of voting-age Blacks in the 11 southern states was projected to increase by 14% in 1984. VEP Executive Director Geraldine Thompson said that this increase was due to a variety of factors, including the controversy of a Black presidential candidate, the economic conditions, and the recent victories of Harold Washington and Wilson Goode. VEP Research Director Richard Hudlin said that if financial and organizational support continued for organizations like VEP, there could be nearly five million Black registrants in the region by November 1984. 2 pages.
