Democrats see Texas Latinos, whose vote grew by 76% in 2018 but who still have millions of unregistered voters, as a key to potentially turning the state blue.

HOUSTON — Democrats looking to turn Texas blue in 2020 like to point to an election last year as a sign of hope.

“Hidalgo defied all political naysayers,” Emmanuel Garcia, the executive director of Texas’ Democratic Party, said. Nationally, the poll found Latino voters favored former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, at 22 percent and 20 percent, followed by Castro at 12 percent and Sen. Kamala Harris of California at 11 percent.

"That's one of the reasons we are having the debate in Houston. We want to send a clear signal that we look at Texas as a key battleground," Perez said. The debate is being held three days before Hispanic Heritage Month begins, in a state that is 39 percent Hispanic.

Keep hoping it it’s never going to happen.

“Unregistered voters” as in illegal voters, lol

Thank-you for the correct term 'Latinos.' Not all 'Latinos' are Dominican-Americans, Haitian-American, Portuguese-American, OR Spaniard-American to be 'Hispanic.'
