2020 president ial election and the latino vote. No question that 2020 will be a year of intersecting crises in the midst of a pandemic and the most consequential election in a lifetime. More americans voted in the 2020 election than any other in modern history with 65 of eligible voters casting a valid and for the first time in our countrys history latinos were the largest ethnic minority in the electorate with 32 million eligible voters for record numbers of latinos turning out the vote, highest numbers of latino and latino youth in the previous election cycle.
