Are we sure there was a Latino issue anywhere else but Florida?

[Quixote1818]

Seems like Hispanics played a huge part of turning AZ blue from solid red.

1. I don't even think there was a latino issue here.

I think there was a voter suppression issue here.

7. Yep. 27% of a Democratic stronghold's absentee ballots hijacked by DeJoy.

Certainly, there are conservative Hispanics. But, I'm not convinced they are as significant as many are making them out to be. There are loads of Puerto Ricans who moved to the mainland after Hurricane Maria, and I refuse to believe that any of them are Trump supporters.

8. As a Puerto Rican

I regret to inform of you that there does exist very stupid Puerto Ricans out there.

2. Apparently south Texas' Latino population went heavy on Тяцмр.

It didn’t happen everywhere of course but it hurt where it did.

3. There was minor pullback from 16 with Mex-Am

Trump dialed back the hate for them so save it for others. We still have connection issues that are opportunities.

4. I was just going to point out Arizona.

A Phoenix reporter on the BBC this morning said Latino turnout was a huge part, but not the only factor, in turning AZ blue (of course, some important news agencies haven't called AZ yet).

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Another factor is

Phoenix area population influx. Much like Vegas Valley,Phoenix is seeing a major increase in California Residents who lost their homes to Fire and rather than rebuild,took the Insurance Checks and moved on. Plus,in the last two years we are seeing a massive migration by Retirees from the Midwest and some from the East Coast.

The Southwest is now the Melting Pot of America.

5. Check the post office

[Mike 03]

6. +1000000. Exactly this.

I'm enraged to the point of exploding about DeJoy.

[crickets]

12. YES, THIS.

Sorry to shout, but ugh. DeJoy should never have walked out of Senate hearings still employed, much less free from any charges. That he stayed on as Postmaster and continued to tamper with an election in plain sight is unconscionable.

9. Texas border counties, I think I heard

[fishwax]

10. In Hidalgo/Cameron counties, on the tip of the border, trump gained about 60k votes over 2016

Whereas Biden wound up pretty close to where Clinton was. There were several border counties that had similar trajectories. Biden didn't grow Clinton's numbers there, unfortunately, and Trump really grew his. I'm not yet sure why.
