Opinion: The most extensive poll of Arizona Latino voters yet this year reveals surprising results about abortion and the lack of voter outreach.
By Elvia Díaz || The Arizona Republic
Sen. Mark Kelly and former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords launch Latinos for Kelly on June 29, 2022.
A whopping 80% of Arizona Latinos support keeping abortion legal, regardless of their personal beliefs.
Yet 42% of Latinos said nobody had contacted them about this year’s midterm election.
That’s bad news for Republicans jubilant over the end of Roe v. Wade, which gave women the right to abortion nationwide.
But it’s also bad news for Democrats, who should be ashamed of themselves for largely ignoring this important voting bloc.
It’s a perennial vicious cycle where both parties – Democrat and Republican – largely ignore Latinos until the last few weeks of an election.
This year is no different.
