El Cuento del Destino: Latino Voters, Demographic Determinism, and the Myth of an Inevitable Democratic Party Majority
ALVARO J. CORRAL AND David L. Leal critically assess the “demography as destiny” theory which posits that the growing number of Latino voters who disproportionately support the Democratic Party, will not only gain political influence but will tilt the electorate in the party’s favor and erode the GOP’s electoral competitiveness. By looking at trends in Latino voting behavior and partisan affiliation since 2016, the authors reveal complexities that call into question the theory and its prevailing assumptions.
