Latino voter participation more than doubles 2014 levels
Congressional Democrats and grass-roots groups are taking a midterms victory lap, pointing to Latino voter turnout numbers that they say tipped the balance in several House and Senate races.
Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), said Tuesday that early voting figures indicate a 174 percent increase in Hispanic voter participation compared to the 2014 midterms.
Those numbers may very well end up being the largest voter turnout among Latinos in the history of midterm elections.
Community leaders, who have touted their own outreach efforts, heaped praise on the DCCC — the only national party structure that seriously engaged Latino voters, driving new voters to the polls last week.
Latino Victory Fund President Cristobal Alex called Luján "the winner of these midterms" and "the chief architect of this blue wave."
