The Impact of Latinx Voters
Early signs indicate that Latinx turnout nationally surged in the midterm elections. There are 27.3 million eligible Latinx voters in the United States, according to the Pew Research Center, which is 12 percent of the electorate. Most have not voted in the past — 27 percent voted in the 2014 midterm election compared to 43 percent of eligible white voters. This year, early voting tallies suggest that Latinxs voted in record numbers.
