AUSTIN, Texas - Latinos and other minorities voted heavily for Democratic candidates, helping to drive the party’s capture of the U.S. House in this year's midterm elections, experts said Wednesday.

Exit polls showed that 81 percent of the Latinos ages 18 to 29 and another 74 percent who were ages of 30 to 44 voted for Democrats. The next highest share voting for Democrats was Latinos ages 65 and older, 71 percent.

In the Latino Decisions election eve survey, 73 percent of Latinos said they voted for the Democratic candidate, while 90 percent African Americans, 72 percent of AAPIs and 61 percent of Native Americans said they chose the Democrat. Forty-five percent of white voters cast their ballot for Democrats.

Data for the turnout of Latinos will not be available until later. On the morning of Election Day on Tuesday, the top-trending Google Search in the U.S. was "dónde votar," Spanish for where to vote.

What “gains”?

This is just pure propaganda to get the slaves back on the plantation.

You don't have to be an “expert” to figure that out. Texas is in the process of being Californicated by the Mexicans. Oh well, everything is bigger in Texas, or so they say! And yet Texas FReepers take umbrage at that notion. I guess, like some of the horses they ride, they have their blinder on! Now, watch them come out of the woodwork here and flame me! Three, two, one, fire!

And don’t forget about the dead and the stupid voters. Boy, the “Dims” sure have some real winners.

Always promise “free Stuff” that will be impossible to deliver. It works great on the left side of the bell curve.

The post-mortem analysis of the vote begins.

NBC claims that Blacks and Hispanics stayed on the Plantation - 90% and 73%.

Because your typical timid RINO-y Republican candidate is not able to make the connection with them that Trump can.

This native West Texan does not deny it. Unless suburbanites, transplants and whole racial groups are capable of a rational political epiphany, Texas will be purple in 6 years, blue in 10.

EXACTLY. They flipped Virginia, and FReepers still do not understand the #1 priority for conservatives is building a strong, systematic outreach program for latinos, to educate them why voting for conservatives is in their best interest.

Since 1990 we have brought in over 35 million LEGAL permanent immigrants, which is the equivalent of the current population of Canada. This doesn’t include the 300,000 anchor babies born annually who are US citizens at birth. 87% of the legal immigrants are minorities.

We are being colonized by the Third World. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. Immigrants and their US children drive 80% of our population growth.

LEGAL immigration will make the Dems the permanent majority party within a decade.

“This native West Texan does not deny it.”

You still have time! You can start be demanding that these Texas Officials who have been caught by Project Veritas on camera saying very plainly that they are facilitating vote fraud prosecuted and sent to jail for a long time!

“Latinos and other minorities voted heavily for Democratic candidates”

I guess they want to go back to the Obama era unemployment percentages minorities and women experienced then.
