BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – Latino voters make up a significant share of Texas’ electorate, and their support could help shape several races in the 2026 midterm elections.
But neither political party can take that support for granted.
Several South Texas counties that voted Democratic in 2020 shifted to Republican in the 2024 presidential election. Now, with Election Day approaching on Nov. 3, the question is whether those counties will stay red or move to back the blue.
Texas has nearly 6.3 million eligible Latino voters, making up about 31.7% of the state’s eligible electorate, according to the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute.
