This was a big shift toward Republicans in 2020, but it still didn't make Latinos majority Republican. There are trends that work for and against both parties right now, too, so 2022 is anyone's guess, but they'll still likely vote majority Democrat. 1. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/racist-latino-vote-accelerates-texas-republicans-seek-restrictions-rcna1546 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/racist-latino-vote-accel... 2. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/05/latinos-are-not-lock-democrats-heres-why/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/05/latinos-a...
