Voters of Color and Women Made the Difference in Elections

Despite new laws to keep people from voting and gerrymandering election districts to take away the power of minority communities, the Republican “red wave” that pollsters predicted ahead of last week’s midterms didn’t happen.

Ethnic Media Services debriefed six experts on their reactions to the election results and what should be done to prepare for the 2024 election.

“Voters of color were very concerned about the state of their lives beyond the economy,” said Sergio I. 

García-Rios, assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin and former director of Polling and Data at Univision News. “A second concern in all of our polls was gun safety, and mass shootings and also security along the border.”

García-Rios said that President Biden’s message about saving democracy resonated with voters of color concerned about rising extremism. But they also sent Democrats a message: “We’re disappointed with both parties.”

That theme was picked up by Christine Chen, executive director of Asian Pacific Islander American Vote (APIAVote), who says the number of Asian American voters who eschew both parties is growing. APIAVote conducts an annual survey of Asian American and Pacific Islander voters.

“We noticed that there’s an increasing number of independent voters among the Asian American electorate, 35% overall, and the Chinese actually had the largest percentage… at 47%. Even the Vietnamese, who support Republicans at a higher rate than any other Asian ethnic group, are losing party identification to independents,” Chen said.

Driving many black women were concerns around safety, said Karma Cottman, who leads Ujima, which focuses on violence targeting women in the black community. “Safety for us as women, safety for us as members of the black community, overlaid with what safety looks like in terms of physical and financial safety so we are able to take care of our families.”

Cottman pointed to down ballot elections, noting strong support for black female candidates. “We were voting up and down ballot for black women,” she said.

Voter intimidation, meanwhile, did not prove to be a major issue this election, says Gowri Ramachandran, senior counsel of the Brennan Center’s Democracy program. “We had law enforcement leaders in some communities coming out and saying, look, intimidation of voters and of election workers is not going to be tolerated,” she said.

Exit polls showed Republicans gaining ground in support among African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans. While support for Democrats remained high among women and young voters, Cottman echoed those who say Democrats spent too much time trying to flip predominantly white districts instead of investing resources in communities of color.

While Democrats maintained control of the Senate following a narrow win this weekend by Nevada’s Catherine Cortez Masto, control of the House remains in question, though Republicans have the advantage.

Common Cause National Redistricting Director Kathay Feng says extreme gerrymandering was a decisive factor in Republicans’ strong showing in states like Ohio and Florida and will be key should they retake the House.

In red states where the state legislature controls redistricting and Republican governors approve the maps they draw, the fight for fair maps is a David vs Goliath proposition. But in North Carolina and Minnesota, courts forced district maps to be redone. And in New Mexico, Native Americans threatened to blockade the commission if it didn’t redraw the Navajo districts. They did so.

Feng, who has been at the center of efforts to challenge partisan gerrymandering through litigation and state-based organizing around ballot initiatives and legislation, says citizens have been able to get maps drawn fairly where election commissions do the redistricting.

“Across the board we saw many improvements,” she noted, pointing to states like California, Michigan and Colorado.

In Michigan, voters passed a measure in 2018 to create an independent Redistricting Commission. It has made a big difference there. State Representative Joe Tate is likely to become the first black speaker of the Michigan House. In Detroit and nearby suburbs, an African American is going to be representing this district for the first time in Washington. And in Michigan’s 12th Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Rashida Tlaib, who is Palestinian American, will be representing her newly configured district.

In Colorado, the Citizens Redistricting Board meeting for the first time drew a Congressional district with a 40% Latino population. “And that district, the Congressional 8th, elected for the first time a Latina representative to be part of the Congressional Colorado delegation,” Feng said.

“It’s significant to note that in each of these states there has been tremendous participation by communities of color to come out and talk about where those communities are, to talk about the growth, and to make sure that the lines are truly reflective of those communities,” she added.

Feng drew a sharp comparison with the growth of Latino populations in Texas and the black population in Florida. “Those communities were sliced and diced up so that the growth was not represented, or the historic representation was essentially dismantled. So, we see a significant difference between the states that have commissions of some form or another and those that do not,” she said.

Feng likened redistricting to fixing democracy’s clogged plumbing.

“You don’t want to know what’s in there. You don’t want to look at it. And when it bursts, it’s a mess. And that’s why you’ve got to fix it before you have that disaster… and because so many communities participated in redistricting, this time round, we saw a lot of that plumbing get fixed.”

Las Mujeres y los Votantes de Color Hicieron la Diferencia en las Elecciones

A pesar de las nuevas leyes para evitar que se salga a votar y la manipulación de los distritos electorales para quitarles el poder a las comunidades minoritarias, la “ola roja” republicana que los encuestadores predijeron antes de las elecciones intermedias de la semana pasada no sucedió.

Los Servicios de Medios Étnicos interrogaron a seis expertos sobre sus reacciones ante los resultados de las elecciones y lo que se debe hacer para prepararse para las elecciones de 2024.

“Los votantes de color estaban muy preocupados por la situación de sus vidas más allá de la economía”, dijo Sergio I. 

García-Rios, profesor asistente de la Universidad de Texas en Austin y exdirector de Encuestas y Datos de Noticias Univisión. “Una segunda preocupación en todas nuestras encuestas fue la inseguridad que se tiene con las armas, los tiroteos masivos y también la seguridad a lo largo de la frontera”.

García-Rios dijo que el mensaje que dio el presidente Biden a cerca de salvar la democracia resonó entre los votantes de color preocupados por el aumento del extremismo. Pero también se envió un mensaje a los demócratas: “Estamos decepcionados por ambos partidos”.

Ese tema fue retomado por Christine Chen, directora ejecutiva de Asian Pacific Islander American Vote (APIAVote), quien declaró que la cantidad de votantes asiático-estadounidenses que evitan a ambos partidos está creciendo. APIAVote realiza una encuesta anual de votantes asiático-americanos e isleños del Pacífico.

“Nos hemos dado cuenta de que hay un número cada vez mayor de votantes hacia los candidatos independientes entre el electorado asiático-estadounidense, un 35 % en general, los chinos tenían el mayor porcentaje… con un 47 %. Incluso los vietnamitas, que han apoyado a los republicanos en mayor medida que cualquier otro grupo étnico asiático, están perdiendo la identificación con el partido ante los candidatos independientes”, dijo Chen.

La seguridad es una de las preocupaciones de las mujeres negras, dijo Karma Cottman, quien dirige Ujima, que se enfoca en la violencia contra las mujeres en la comunidad negra. “Seguridad para nosotras como mujeres, seguridad para nosotras como miembros de la comunidad negra, superpuesta a la seguridad física y financiera para que podamos cuidar de nuestras familias”.

Cottman señaló las elecciones con un matiz negativo y notó la existencia de un fuerte apoyo a las candidatas negras. “Estábamos votando a favor y en contra de las mujeres negras”, dijo.

Mientras tanto, la intimidación a los votantes no resultó ser un problema importante en esta elección, dijo Gowri Ramachandran, asesor principal del programa Democracia del Centro Brennan. “Tuvimos líderes encargados de hacer cumplir la ley en algunas comunidades, los cuales salieron a decir: no se tolerará la intimidación a los votantes y a los trabajadores electorales”, dijo.

Las encuestas a boca en las urnas mostraban que los republicanos ganaban terreno con el apoyo de los afroamericanos, latinos y asiáticos americanos. Si bien el apoyo a los demócratas se mantuvo alto entre las mujeres y los votantes jóvenes, Cottman repitió lo que se decía sobre la gran cantidad de tiempo que dedicaron los demócratas en tratar de cambiar de bando a los distritos predominantemente blancos en lugar de invertir recursos en comunidades de color.

Si bien los demócratas mantuvieron el control del Senado luego de una estrecha victoria este fin de semana de Catherine Cortez Masto de Nevada, el control de la Cámara sigue en duda, aunque los republicanos tienen la ventaja.

La directora nacional de redistribución de distritos de Common Cause, Kathay Feng, declaró que la manipulación extrema fue un factor decisivo en la sólida actuación de los republicanos en estados como Ohio y Florida y será clave en caso de que retomen la Cámara.

En los estados rojos donde la legislatura estatal controla la redistribución de distritos y los gobernadores republicanos aprueban los mapas que dibujan, la lucha por mapas territoriales justos es una propuesta de David contra Goliat. Pero en Carolina del Norte y Minnesota, los tribunales obligaron a rehacer los mapas de los distritos. Y en Nuevo México, los nativos americanos amenazaron con bloquear la comisión si no rediseñaban los distritos navajos. Así lo hicieron.

Feng, quien ha estado en el centro de los esfuerzos para desafiar el gerrymandering partidista a través de litigios y organización estatales en torno a iniciativas electorales y legislaciones, dice que los ciudadanos han podido crear mapas de manera justa donde las comisiones electorales hacen la redistribución de los distritos.

“En general, vimos muchas mejoras”, señaló, apuntando a estados como California, Michigan y Colorado.

En Michigan, en el 2018 los votantes aprobaron una medida para crear una Comisión de redistribución de distritos independiente, lo cual ha hecho una gran diferencia allí y es probable que el representante estatal Joe Tate se convierta en el primer orador negro de la Cámara de Representantes de Michigan. En Detroit y los suburbios cercanos, un afroamericano representará a este distrito por primera vez en Washington. Y en el Distrito Congresional 12 de Michigan, la titular demócrata Rashida Tlaib, que es palestina estadounidense, representará a su distrito recién configurado.

En Colorado, la reunión de la Junta de Redistribución de Distritos de Ciudadanos atrajo por primera vez un distrito del Congreso con un 40% de población latina. “Y ese distrito, el 8vo del Congreso, eligió por primera vez a una representante latina para ser parte de la delegación del Congreso de Colorado”, dijo Feng.

“Es importante notar que en cada uno de estos estados ha habido una gran participación de las comunidades de color, saliendo y comunicando dónde se encuentran, y expresando el crecimiento que han tenido, asegurándose de que las líneas reflejen verdaderamente a sus comunidades”, agregó.

Feng hizo una fuerte comparación con el crecimiento de las poblaciones latinas en Texas y la población negra en Florida. “Esas comunidades fueron rebanadas y cortadas en cubitos para que no se representara el crecimiento, o la representación histórica se desmantelara esencialmente. Entonces, vemos una diferencia significativa entre los estados que tienen comisiones de una forma u otra y los que no”, dijo.

Feng comparó la redistribución de distritos con arreglar las tuberías obstruidas de la democracia.

“No quieres saber lo que hay ahí. No quieres mirarlo. Y cuando revienta, es un desastre. Y es por eso que tienes que arreglarlo antes de que ocurra ese desastre… y debido a que tantas comunidades participaron en la redistribución de distritos, esta vez, vimos que se arreglaron muchas de esas tuberías”.
