Deal, Perdue each won with more than 40 percent of the Hispanic vote

Republicans David Perdue and Gov. Nathan Deal each won more than 40 percent of the Hispanic vote on their way to victory Tuesday despite staking out get-tough positions on illegal immigration, a new report shows.

The Pew Research Center report shows Perdue defeated Democrat Michelle Nunn for his Senate seat with 42 percent of the Hispanic vote and 53 percent of the overall vote. Deal turned back a challenge from Democrat Jason Carter with 47 percent of the Hispanic vote and 53 percent of the overall vote.

During his campaign, Perdue spoke out against bipartisan Senate legislation that would create a 13-year pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants living illegally in the U.S., dismissing it as “amnesty.” Stalled in the GOP-led House, the bill would require people to pay a fine and back taxes. Nunn supports the measure.

Georgia’s candidates for governor also differed sharply on immigration. Following Arizona’s lead, Deal signed Georgia’s stringent immigration enforcement legislation into law in 2011. Carter voted against it and said during the campaign that “it was an economic disaster to our agricultural community, and it badly damaged our state’s reputation.”

In exit poll surveys, Latino voters ranked the economy as the most important issue facing the nation followed by healthcare and then illegal immigration. Nearly three out of every four Latin voters said they support offering legal status to immigrants working illegally in the U.S. instead of deporting them. In contrast, 57 percent of U.S. voters said the same thing.

Pew based its findings on information NBC News and CNN reported this month from exit poll surveys done by Edison Research for the National Election Pool.

1. Proving that propaganda works on all humans

People really need to stop hoping that Hispanics will save the Democratic Party. By the time they are allowed to vote in large numbers (if ever) they will be completely brainwashed also. Gotta stop/counteract the brainwashing.

2. Sounds like Deal and Purdue picked up the 25+% who want to deport Latinos, plus impact of greater

turnout going to conservatives. It is sad that anyone would vote for those two racist, criminals. But, that is the reality of the way people think in this country.

3. I totally get it because I saw the dark money here in Az. The Koch types buy ads that have nothing

to do with reality.

They lie - well stretch the truth as far as they can stretch it. And then they bombard the airwaves and your mail box with that lie totally scaring people into voting for the wrong person.

Example - here in Az our Dem Candidate for Governor (you know how badly we need a Dem governor!) was part of Clinton's team. He was CC on an email that had to do with Al Qaeda... pre 9/11.
The ads they ran said that he knew about Al Qaeda before 9/11 and did nothing to stop them. Would you want this man who does not stop terrorists to run our state? The ad was in black and white and had scary music in the background.
It scared the crap out of me! haha - but I am an educated voter.

That's how they win.
