North Omaha Voter Turnout Increases

(Omaha, NE)  --  Voter turnout in north Omaha is on the rise.  Officials from Omaha's Black Lives Matter group say more than 14-thousand north Omaha residents went to the polls on Election Day.  That's nearly five-thousand more voters than the 93-hundred who cast ballots during the 2014 midterm election.  Omaha Black Lives Matter CEO Preston Love Junior says the group will continue to register voters in an effort to increase turnout.
