Latino voters in Texas 'much more' motivated to vote in 2020, poll finds

WASHINGTON — Latinos in Texas say they are much more motivated to vote this November than they were in 2016, with gun safety being a big factor after the shooting in El Paso a year ago, according to a new poll.

The survey of 800 Latinos who are registered to vote found that 57 percent are “much more” motivated to vote in November, with 74 percent saying they are “almost certain” to vote in the presidential race and even more — roughly 80 percent — saying they are “almost certain” to vote in the U.S. Senate and congressional races.
