The Turnout Gap<\/a><\/em>, he lists several factors of vote suppression that have contributed to this line, particularly focusing on two – the lack of mobilization and contemporary suppression strategies. Current suppression strategies can, of course, be found in countless news articles across the web, from the unnecessary closures of voting polls to the spread of disinformation to deter engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, the last couple of democratic candidates, Obama and Clinton, have ultimately seen low Latino turnouts, which Dr. Fraga contrasts with their primary opponents. \u201cTio Bernie,\u201d for instance, was the nickname for Senator Sandors, which seemed to coincide with his focus towards the real needs of Latino communities as averse to their \u201cethnic needs.\u201d When questioned on Trump\u2019s economic appeal to Latinos, Dr. Fraga agreed with Dr. Francis-Fallon – his message espouses familial success in terms of employment and \u201cdoing it the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Fraga was quick to express how more grassroots efforts could help bridge the gap, along with a policy platform more appealing to the needs of Latino communities. He also noted that Biden\u2019s campaign had heavily leaned in to digital promotion, which risks cutting off the populations they\u2019re trying to reach, reminding us of the digital divide. Dr. Francis-Fallon concurred, but was quick to add that Republicans \u201cdo not have these problems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
