Latino Voters and the 2020 Election: Numbers, Parties, and Issues

Abstract

This brief, the first of a three-part series, takes a closer look at the makeup, distribution, and participation trends of the Latino electorate, as well as its potential impact in select races. Parts two and three in this series will cover factors in the election process and administration arena which could impact the Latino electorate—including attitudes toward and vote-by-mail trends among Hispanic voters—and look at party and candidate support trends, traits Latinos would like to see in a presidential candidate, and the issues that top the agenda for this fast-growing electorate.
