How Abortion Could Tip the Scale in Florida's Elections, According to Experts
A referendum could motivate a greater number of Hispanic voters to head to the polls in November if it ends up on the ballot, according to Democratic strategists.They also underscored Latinos could play a key role in 2024 elections, as they make up 22 percent of the overall state population that is eligible to vote.
Democratic advisors and consultants reached that consensus during a forum on the Hispanic vote hosted by Florida media outlets such as the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, CBS News, Univision 23, and WLRN at Florida International University on Thursday night.
José Parra, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to former Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, said, was one of the voices coinciding with this idea. "Young Hispanics are going to turn out because of issues like abortion," he said, according to the Miami Herald.
And added: "When you see issues like the Alabama Supreme Court declaring that embryos are children, the issue becomes nationalized." The state Judiciary issued a ruling on February 16 declaring that embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) should be considered children.
