It is estimated that 11.6 million Latinos will vote in the mid-term elections in November. 80% of the Latino population are able to vote this election and that percentage grows each year. This enormous electoral potential is not reflected in what we call the Hispanic agenda.<\/li>\n \t<li>There are almost 12 million Latinos \u2013 that have the right to vote \u2013 who are not registered to cast their ballot.<\/li>\n \t<li>In the 2020 election for the House of Representatives, 69% of Latinos supported the democratic candidate and 27% supported the republican candidate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAs the mid-term election approaches in the United States, which will conclude on Tuesday November 8, the power that every individual has to vote is very important. You will vote for the members of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/about-the-white-house\/our-government\/the-legislative-branch\/\">the Senate and House of Representatives<\/a>. There are 435 total elected representatives and they are chosen according to the population of each state, with the lowest being 1 in Alaska, and the highest being 53 in California. <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/United_States_Senate_elections,_2022\">Of the 100 senators (2 in each state), 35 will be up for election this year. 34 are running for reelection and 1 senator announced their retirement. Each senator\u2019s term lasts for 6 years<\/a>.\n\nMany times, state elections happen at the same time and voters can also choose civil servants in their own city, like judges and mayors. The election this year is also very important because residents in <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Gubernatorial_elections,_2022\">36 of the 50 states<\/a> will also vote for their governor, who is a the most powerful figure in the legislation and politics of each state. This mid-term election holds a significant amount of weight in determining the political direction of the local districts and of the entire country.\n\nLatinos make up a large part of the United States population and they will have a great influence on the results. There are about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/library\/stories\/2021\/08\/improved-race-ethnicity-measures-reveal-united-states-population-much-more-multiracial.html\">62.1 million<\/a> Latinos in the United States, and it is estimated that <a href=\"chrome-extension:\/\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/https:\/naleo.org\/COMMS\/PRA\/2022\/2_24_2022_-_NEF_PPT_-_2022_Midterms_Latino_Voter_Projections_Texas_-_Final.pdf\">11.61 of these will vote in the election of 2022<\/a>.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3>The Latino Vote<\/h3>\n<strong>For the first time, the Hispanics of Latinos, a group in which the majority of voters are of Mexican origin, will be the first electoral minority under the white vote, which continues being the majority, and above the African American vote. Between 2018 and 2022, the group of Latino voters has grown the most, with almost 5 million new voters, many of which are children of Mexican immigrants, contrasting with the 700 thousand African American voters or the 1 million Asian voters.<\/strong>\n\nIn the last few presidential elections, people have hoped that the Latino vote would de a decisive group in the election, and finally, this group is awakening and revealing its strength. Unfortunately, the election hasn\u2019t happened yet, and although growth is important, it doesn\u2019t carry the weight that it should. This enormous electoral potential is not reflected in what we call the Hispanic agenda. The positions of the democrats in these elections regarding the legalizing abortion, though important, isn\u2019t the most relevant issue.\n\nThe mid-term elections represent a better opportunity for the Latinos because their impact is local. Effectively, the concentration of Latinos in some states, combined with the electoral system, lessens the weight of the Latino vote in the presidential election. For example, in California, where the Hispanic presence is strong, in the presidential election, willing the vote by millions es the same as winning by a small amount, and the white vote would be more than enough, making the Latino vote less useful, but necessary.\n\nIn the local elections, this is not the case, and the Latino vote can define positions on issues that are important for the House of Representatives, the senate, or the governor. The doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that a Latino wins the vote, of which there are not sufficient candidates, but it means that the candidate who wins pays attention to the worries of the Hispanic community.\n\nOf the Latino candidates for the House of Representatives, NALEO gives the highest probability of winning to democrats Robert Garcia of California, Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida, Delia Ramirez of Illinois, Robert Mendez Jr. of New Jersey, and Greg Casar of Texas, as well as republicans Anna Paulina Rubio of Florida. For the first time since the start of this survey, information is included about the Latino voters registered in California, Florida, and Texas, who have some of the closest races in the country.\n\nIn Texas polls, democrat Beto O\u2019 Rourke is ahead of republican Gregg Abbott in the governor race by a margin of 59 to 26%. Abbott is part of the group of republican governors that since April, has sent thousands of asylum seekers to democratic states to protest against the immigration politics of Joe Biden. More than 75% of the Latino voters from that state, which shares a border with Mexico, are in favor of protecting DACA recipients, or those who came to the United States as children (also known as \u201cdreamers\u201d). They also way a law that guarantees access to abortion.\n\nFor the Latino voters in Arizona, democrat Mark Kelly is ahead of republican Blake Masters in the senate polls and democrat Katie Hobbs is ahead of republican Kari Lake in the governor race. In Arizona, 37% of Latino voters confirm that they are in a worse economic state than they were two years ago, in comparison with the 29% national level.\n\nIn Florida, the support of Latino voters for republicans is higher than in any other state. The republican Ron DeSantis is ahead of Charlie Crist in the governor race by a 43 to 37% margin, and republican Marco Rubio is ahead of democrat Val Demings in the Senate race in a 44 to 38% margin.\n\nIn California, democrat Alex Padilla has a comfortable lead over Mark Meuser in the senate race. \u201cThe politicians that take Latino problems seriously have been rewarded with strong electoral positions\u201d in these elections, said Adrian Pantoja of BSP Research.\n\nIn California and Texas, with 8.3 million and 6.2 million voters respectively, one in every three voters will be Hispanic, and in New Mexico, one in ever two voters is Latino. Adrian Fontes in Arizona or Francisco \u201cCisco\u201d Aguilar in Nevada are Latinos that are committed to strengthen our democratic institutions, to protect the rights of all citizens to vote, and to make the electoral process easier and more secure.\n\nThe number of Latinos in the House of Representatives in the United States can go from 38 to 45 in the legislative elections on November 8, which would be a new record, as conformed this Wednesday by NALEO.\n\nThe most recent survey from the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) and BSP Research confirms that the majority of Latino voters are inclined towards the democratic party over the republican party in the battle for congress by a margin of 58 to 32%. 14% have voted early and 8% are still undecided.\n\nOf the 38 seats that are currently occupied by Latino congress people in in the House, 34 of their titles will be retained or occupied by other Hispanics and \u201cwe are monitoring the other 11 races where we believe that a Latino will be elected to represent a district for the first time,\u201d confirmed Arturo Vargas, director of NALEO in a video press conference. If the 11 are elected, the number of total Latinos will increase to 45 for the first time and will represent more than 10 percent of total legislators.\n<h3>Demographic Data of the Latino Vote<\/h3>\nAccording to the 2020 Census data, there are approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2022\/09\/23\/key-facts-about-u-s-latinos-for-national-hispanic-heritage-month\/\">62.1 million<\/a> Latinos living in the United States. In the last 10 years, the Latino population has increased by 16%, now making up 18% of the total population. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/social-trends\/2019\/01\/30\/an-early-look-at-the-2020-electorate-2\/\">They represent the largest ethnic group in the country, after the whites. In the 2020 election, they were the largest minority group, replacing the African American community<\/a>.\n\nOf the Latino population, 80% are citizens of the United States and can vote. That means that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/09\/15\/1037358346\/us-latino-population-demographic-figures-pew-center-hispanic-heritage-month\">four out of every five Latinos was either born in the United States or one of its territories, or was worn outside of the country and became a naturalized citizen<\/a> of the United States.\n\nThis number is only growing. 800 thousand more become citizens every year. Also, an average of 1 million Latinos turn 18 each year and turn into potential voters. The relevance of the Latino vote is growing and is causing them to be a potential impact on the results of elections.\n<h3>Origin, Location, Identity, Age and Education<\/h3>\nEven though the majority of Latinos are U.S. Citizens, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2019\/09\/16\/key-facts-about-u-s-hispanics\/\">according to the Pew Research Center<\/a>, 33% of them were not born in the United States. According to the Pew Research keys for Hispanic Heritage month this year, with numbers from 2021, the Latino vote is comprised of groups of diverse origin.\n\nMexican\u2019s make up the largest percentage of the Latin population, with some 37.2 million people, which makes up 62% of this group. In second place are Puerto Ricans (5.8 million, and 3.1 million living on the island). Six other countries have 1 million or more citizens each, Salvadoran, Cuban, Dominican, Guatemalan, Colombian, and Honduran. Spaniards represented about 1 million Latinos in the U.S. according the last measurements.\n\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/votolatino1.webp\" width=\"770\" height=\"1376\" \/>\n\nThe states with the highest Hispanic population are: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Arizona and Illinois, in that order. Furthermore, California, Texas and Florida are the most populated states in the country, for which the results of their elections have a great impact on the entire country.\n\nAdditionally, almost a quarter of the Latino population identifies as Afro-Latino. Therefore, the Latino vote include people with diverse backgrounds with their own identities and identifiers. From there, you can talk about the Latino communities in plural, not as one monolithic community.\n\nThe average age of Latinos, 29 years old, is lower than the national average, which is 39 years old. Therefore, the Latino vote, in some ways, is also representative of young voters.\n\nOf the total Latino population, approximately 70% has an advanced level of knowledge of English. For reference, 25% of those over 25 years old have studied at least two years at a university, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/hispanic\/chart\/u-s-hispanics-education\/\">16% have a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher<\/a>. This data is low in comparison with the total U.S. citizen population, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2017\/educational-attainment-2017.html\">90% has completed high school, and almost 34% have at least a bachelor\u2019s degree<\/a>.\n\nIn summary, the Latino voters have a singular perspective, with their own chalages and desires that impact the way they look at things and their political opinions.\n\nIn past elections, <strong>the data has shown that the Latino vote has a tendency to favor the Democratic Party.<\/strong> In the <a href=\"chrome-extension:\/\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/https:\/latinodecisions.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Latino-EE2020-Deck.pdf\">presidential election in 2020<\/a> between Donald Trump (republican) and Joe Biden (democrat), 70% voted for Biden and 27% for Trump. In the election of the House of Representatives, <strong>69% supported a democratic candidate<\/strong>, while <strong>27% supported a republican candidate<\/strong>.\n<h3>12 Million Latinos Who Can Vote Are Not Registered And Cannot Do So<\/h3>\nEven though we know that the Latino vote is one of the most relevant in U.S. elections, it\u2019s influence still has not reached its potential. <a href=\"https:\/\/votolatino.org\/understand-the-vote\/\">Almost 12 million people in this group could vote, but are not registered, and therefore, cannot cast their vote this election<\/a>. This is very important because they have the potential to change the results if everyone participated in elections, especially in swing states where it is not clear if the people will vote democrat or republican. In these states, the preferences change with each election depending on who runs in the election and who votes.\n\nThese states have the potential to change what political party will reach the majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives. In this context, every vote is important to determine the results in every state, and therefore, the political future of our nation.\n\nIn some swing states, like Texas and North Carolina, the young Latino vote is growing more rapidly than any other demographic group, and has the potential to change the results if every new voter registers and casts their ballot.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/chequeado.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/votolatino2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-55386 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/chequeado.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/votolatino2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chequeado.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/votolatino2.png 512w, https:\/\/chequeado.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/votolatino2-350x181.png 350w\" alt=\"\" width=\"711\" height=\"368\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/chequeado.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/votolatino2.png 512w, https:\/\/chequeado.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/votolatino2-350x181.png 350w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/chequeado.comhttps:\/\/eaganimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/votolatino2.png\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a>\n\nTo register to vote in any election, there are many resources available. You can register online <a href=\"https:\/\/votolatino.org\/article\/register-to-vote\/\">here<\/a>. Every state has their own regulations to register. If it is not possible to register online, it is possible to do so in person or by mail.\n\n<strong>It doesn\u2019t matter if you vote democrat or republican. What matters is that the Latino agenda is priority in regard to better jobs, access to education and health services, and why not, an immigration reform that has been promised so many times that would legalize our family and friends<\/strong>. What matters is that we value most in the United States: our right to vote. Let\u2019s make our votes decide the elections and let\u2019s hold our leaders accountable.\n\n<strong>We have to start somewhere, and that won\u2019t be the presidential election. We\u2019ll get there, but now we have to support our local elections, and this November 8 is a good opportunity.<\/strong>\n\n<strong>During these elections, we celebrate the halfway point of the current presidential term. All 435 candidates of the House of Representatives will be on the ballot and 1\/3 of the Senate seats will be voted on. <\/strong><strong>Governor races and local positions are also in play.<\/strong>\n\n&nbsp;\n<blockquote><strong>References<\/strong>\n\n<em>Elecciones en Estados Unidos: cu\u00e1l es el peso del voto latino<\/em>.
