The direction is supported: Hispanic early voting is well above 2022 levels. But the 41% figure does not match the national count in the sources, where TargetSmart shows 3.8 million Hispanic voters versus 2.35 million in 2022, an increase of roughly 62%.
What was said
… So Black voters are voting at a 10% rate higher, uh 18 to 29 year olds are up 25% compared to this point in '22, and Hispanic Latino voters are up 41%. The electorate is, you know, and the overall at this point in '22, the electorate was 75% white. Today, it's 70% white. …
The DSR Network · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. TargetSmart data cited by the Washington Post shows 3.8 million Hispanic voters nationwide as of Tuesday versus 2.35 million at the same point in 2022, an increase of about 62%, not 41%.[1]
Contradicts. Texas figures show nearly 1.8 million Hispanic voters, an increase of more than 881,000 or 87.2% over 2022, which is roughly double the claimed 41%.[2]
Supports. Early-vote data from multiple outlets shows Hispanic turnout running well above the same point in 2022, including Washington Post/TargetSmart and NBC/Texas figures.[1][2][3]
Context. Mecklenburg County data shows Hispanic voters casting 5,123 ballots in the first week versus 1,610 in 2022, and their share of ballots rose from 2.2% to 4.6%; these are local, share-based measures and do not verify a national 41% figure.[4]
Context. The post's own clarification refers to the share of the early vote rather than raw participation, and no source computes a Hispanic early-vote share increase of 41%.
