New from @ucla_vrp @MikeBRios report documenting vote dilution and vote denial in @TarrantCountyTX new mid-decade redistricting map vrp.ucla.edu/press/vrp-issue…
Election narratives, meet data analysis 🔍 Our team at @ucla_vrp is breaking down election night trends, and this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more insights—follow us to stay informed. 🗳️📊 #Election2024
Using data from @MyCielola on Zapotec speakers by census tract, our team at @ucla_vrp overlaid these data by voting precinct to identify 36 precincts that should be required to have Zapotec language ballots, easily passing the 3% threshold required by CA law.
Taking the stage next is @RepMonicaDLC but please don't tell her that the Southern part of TX-15 which is majority Latino just got 7-points MORE DEMOCARTIC. And don't tell the NYT but the RGV just got a little bluer on March 5th. 📊 by @MikeBRios @ahariharan014 @MichaelHerndon_
Our @ucla_vrp team is committed to providing easy-to-understand graphics to better understand the election.
Keep an eye out for more bangers like this one‼️
Check out this precinct plot by @MikeBRios @ucla_vrp showing % Dem in 2020 presidential vs. % Dem in 2024 primary -- Hidalgo County TX -- as precincts get more heavily Latino, Dems are OVERPERFORMING RN compared to '20 -- NO RED WAVE?!
Straight 🔥🔥🔥 coming from @ucla_vrp
Our team is working to crunch the numbers on Texas and more 👀📊

Latino voters remain one of the most influential yet least mobilized electorates - give a read for yourself! 🗳️👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿
🚨NEW @UCLAlatino Report: Despite the increased role of Latinos in determining elections & the vast evidence showing the crucial role of long-term & sustained contact for their turnout—investment in the mobilization of Latino voters has lagged behind. @MikeBRios @roddominguezv
🚨 NEW REPORT ALERT 🚨
With the midterms looming, many have questioned if #LatinoVoters are becoming more conservative.
@roddominguezv and I look back at the 2020 election to see how Democratic Senate candidates performed compared to Biden among #LatinoVoters.
👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿
BREAKING: A new report from @UCLAlatino found that #LatinoVoters supported Democratic Senate candidates by wide margins in 2020 in 6 key Senate races, but a considerable number split their ballots btwn parties when choosing Senate and presi. candidates.

In WA state the @RedistrictingWA commission failed to deliver maps by Nov 15 & worse, it failed to draw a Latino-performing district in the densely Latino Yakima region - a direct violation of the #VotingRightsAct

A lesson from the recall for the 2022 midterms - MOBILIZATION WORKS 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿
Latino voters were more likely to vote to keep Newsom in office than non-Latino voters in the recall election, according to a new analysis by @UCLAlatino, via @sacbee_news & @Report4America

You can't tell, but we're both smiling! Happy to have attended with like minded advocates 😁
Proud of @MikeBRios and @SonniWaknin for speaking about the important of complying with the Voting Rights Act at the Orange County Supervisors meeting today!
#Latinas are a PILLAR 🏛 of the U.S. workforce - it's been time to start regarding them as such
Yet, from March 2020 - March 2021, the number of Latinas in the workforce dropped by 2.74%– the biggest drop in labor force size of any demographic group during that time. (3/4)
#LatinaEqualPayDay
With the Recall OFFICIALLY certified today take a look at @UCLAlatino data on how #Latinos voted! 📊
(Spoiler: they held down Newsom - AGAIN)
In most counties, support for @GavinNewsom ⬆️ as the concentration of #Latino voters in precincts ⬆️. For the full data, click here: latino.ucla.edu/research/lat… (3/3)
@namisumida @SuzGamboa @bigdanimals @joegarofoli @llerer
Momma we made it! 🙏 Seriously, an honor to be working with @BuildingBack_US on #LanguageJustice for voters across the US! Stay tuned
🗳️Today we held our first Language Justice Committee meeting!
We discussed goals, recruitment tactics, and plans to tackle language access barriers ahead of the 2022 elections to ensure every American’s #FreedomToVote is protected.
What a chart! 🤩🤩 SHOUT OUT to LA Latinos for more than pulling their weight for Newsom in the #CARecall
In honor of #HispanicHeritageMonth allow us to present #TheBigEnchilada - LOS ANGELES COUNTY - which is home to 31% of all Latinos in Cali and where across 2500 precincts analyzed the #CARecall averaged 84% No vote from LA Latinos (via @ana_loaxaca @MikeBRios @MichaelHerndon_)
This is a reminder of how important voter engagement is!
Post-Election update from @UCLAlatino via @Political_Data on final vote numbers with biggest single day of Latino votes coming on 9/14 Election Day, current total turnout stands at 1,823,798 Latino votes statewide #CARecall
Michael Rios retweeted
#CARecall -- heart of the Bay Area #SanFrancisco shows basically no deviation with all precincts citywide voting heavily No on the Recall, we estimate Latino vote at 82% No on Recall in SF County
