I’m sick of ppl trying to cast Latinos as the reason Biden lost FL + TX:

✅FL + TX aren’t the only Latinos in America

✅In both states white swing voters swung back to Trump

✅HISTORIC WIN IN ARIZONA

✅Latinos in MI + WI helped put Biden over top
Pls don’t write just one chapter of this story. It requires much more nuance. Including:

✅only 3% of the entire Latino electorate in US is Cuban. Yet based on many headlines, they are driving an entire narrative about all latinos in 2020

follow @carlosodio for more on this
✅Only 15% of TX latino voters live in RGV and there was ecord turnout + support in the urban centers @UCLAlatino has great data on this

✅Record turnout in Arizona, especially from LATINAS will put Biden over the top
✅Record turnout from Latinos in MI + WI also put Biden over the top.
5x more early vote turnout in Michigan from 2016-2020. In Wisconsin early vote nearly tripled. And in both states that was largely driven by LATINAS. @mjfrias at @Catalist_US has great data on this.
This election illustrates the promise and the peril and nuance of the latino vote.

The truth is, once Nevada and Arizona are finalized, the story should be Latinos, who built a historic brown wall in the southwest, are sending Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House.
Please continue to follow @EquisResearch for more nuanced data as we learn more over the coming weeks and months (we truly won’t know the real data until voter files are updated which takes many months).

There are many chapters to this book to be written.
