5. Texas Hispanic Voters Have Repeatedly Dashed Democratic Hopes

Texas Hispanic voters have repeatedly dashed Democrats’ hopes. Unlike other racial/ethnic groups, they tend not to vote.

I fear that the reason they don’t has less to do with Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression than with a crucial belief missing from their mindset—all too many simply don’t believe that voting is important..

I think this extremely unfortunate. If it had been otherwise, Chump could very well have lost Texas in 2016.

I am at my wit’s end.
