Here's a comparison between 2004 (Bush/Kerry) and 2018 (Cruz/Beto). Democrats gained ground among both whites *and* Hispanics, but the gains among Hispanics are larger. Whites: R+ 49 (2004); R+32 (2018) Hispanics: D+1 (2004) D +29 (2018) — PolitiTweet.org

#Actually, Hispanics* are a pretty huge part of the story about how Texas has become more purple and it's weird that I'm seeing punditry to the contrary! * Asian and "other" or mixed-race voters also an important part of the story, but we'll leave that aside for now. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, Hispanics have grown from 20% of the electorate in 2004 to 26% in 2018. They're still underperforming in comparison to their share of the voting-eligible population, but that's helped Democrats too. — PolitiTweet.org
