I don't buy any of the theories about why Latinos don't vote (as much as whites). US born Latinos not voting has nothing to do with fear of ICE.

I asked a 30 something US born Latina woman I know a few days ago (not particularly educated but not ratchet either) if she was voting in the midterms and she was like "what's that?". For a lot of them I think it's just lack of awareness or lack of care.

:what:

that statement means that the republicans are right about people voting illegally :laff:and we all know that it's a blatant lie, so what the fukk?
I don't think I mentioned Hillary or Trump so why the fukk are you pretending like you know what the fukk you're talking about? Go back to focusing on "taxachussetts" lame.

:picard: I'm actually insulted that y'all think I would discuss a topic without any receipts. Who do you take me for?












Though many political scientists suggest that factors like educational attainment and income explain why some Americans vote less often than others, voter-turnout records show a more complicated picture. Latinos without high-school diplomas actually vote more often than whites without them, according to a new book by Bernard Fraga, a political scientist, called “The Turnout Gap”.

One answer is that Hispanics, a category created by the Census Bureau, do not feel very Hispanic. Florida’s politics often sets Cubans against Puerto Ricans. In Texas, the term covers Mexicans who arrived in the 1970s, recent migrants from Central America and families who have been in Texas for centuries. Black Americans have a long history of mass political organising dating back to before the civil-rights era. Latinos do not. The expectation that they should have a shared political consciousness might be mistaken.

Another explanation is that the campaigns are doing a lousy job of targeting them. This is what Mr Fraga argues. Campaigns usually focus their marginal extra efforts on voters who are most likely to show up, which ends up reinforcing pre-existing turnout patterns.
