Latino Voters Saved the Senate for the Democrats
Polling and Experts Make Clear: Latino Voters Showed Up & Saved the Senate for the Democrats
How and Why Latinos Voted in Eight States
Washington, DC – Latino Decisions and experts in Latino civic participation and immigration reform gathered yesterday on a press conference call to analyze Latino voter turnout in the 2010 elections, assess what motivated Latinos to vote, and answer what Tuesday night’s results mean for the future of immigration reform and Latino political engagement. The call also featured a detailed analysis of election night polls in 8 states conducted by Latino Decisions that details how and why Latino citizens voted in eight states – AZ, CA, CO, FL IL, NM, NV, and TX.
On the press call held yesterday, Gary Segura of Latino Decisions highlighted that Latinos voted for Democrats over Republicans by roughly a three to one margin and noted that, “Latinos may have saved the Senate for Democrats. They certainly saved Harry Reid – about 10% of the overall vote in Nevada were Latinos voting Democrat. Overwhelmingly, Latino voters were there to support Latino community instead of either party and felt that the immigration debate and accompanying anti-Latino sentiment drove them to the polls on Election Day.â€
