Geraldo Cadava on the efforts of Kamala Harris’s Presidential campaign to energize the Latino voter turnout for the November election.
For more than a decade, Democrats have claimed that Latinos are key to electoral victories, but even when they’ve won they’ve been frustrated, first, by persistent low Latino turnout and, more recently, by Latinos moving toward the Republican Party. Barack Obama hit high-water marks for Latino support in 2008 and 2012 .
In the years since, as demonstrated by the political scientist Bernard Fraga in his book “The Turnout Gap,” it has continuously lagged between about ten and twenty per cent behind both non-Latino white and non-Latino Black turnout, and remained on a par with Asian American participation. For most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Latinos faced multiple obstacles to full political participation, including legal contests over whether they were white or nonwhite and foreigners or citizens.
