The changes are the best looking, for Democrats, of any state I have seen.
(Minority population growth is a different issue, than what I am about to present)
Texas had 18,047,000 eligible voters in 2020, up from 16,977,000 in 2016.
States like Nevada, Florida, Arizona, saw whites gain hundreds of thousands in increased eligible voters from 2016 to 2020. Colorado and New Mexico also saw white eligible voters increase.
But the number of eligible non-Hispanic white eligible voters decreased 192,000, in Texas, from 2016 to 2020.
Whites made up 9,182,000 eligible voters in 2020
Blacks were 2,245,000. (Up 175,000 from 2016)
Native Americans were 85,000 ( up 12,000 from 2016)
Asians were 897,000 (up 250,000)
Hispanics were 5,393,000 (up 756,000)
Mixed race folks write 245,000 (up 85,000)
2022 looks to be the first election where whites are an eligible voter plurality, as opposed to majority, in Texas. The minority population growth in the nation, and Texas, has slowed considerably, but eligible minority voters are increasing at a faster rate. Still slower than past projections.
Texas is looking to be a majority-minority eligible-voter state, while Arizona, Nevada, and Florida are still 60-40 (or a bit more) white, in eligible voters.
Democrats have been turning off just about every voter-group they possibly can, and Texas could be a case to study. They have a political opportunist-candidate for Governor, who probably helped Democrats loose the Hispanic vote in 2020 (His gun stance, plus his endorsement of Biden, helped turn off Sanders-supporting Rio Grande voters) so this is a race to watch.
(Beto is running as a border-security tough guy, according to Texas Tribune articles. He is now bragging about "deportation" policies he will support. In 2018, he spoke boldly for decriminalization of undocumented border crossings, and was critical of the wall. In 2019, he actually had the integrity to extent wall opposition to the next logical step of removing existing stretches of the existing wall. Now he is only offering the weak "no more wall" slogan, while running tough against immigration & immigrants)
Beto is a disgrace.
