The Hispanic vote share in early voting is 35% higher in Texas, 44% in California, 15% in Arizona, 25% in New Mexico, 35% in Colorado, 51% in Illinois, 84% in Virginia, 70% in New York, 45% in Nevada, 59% in New Jersey, and 58% in Georgia.

What we found

Supports. WaPo, citing TargetSmart data as of Tuesday, reports Hispanic early-vote share increases of 37% in Texas, 44% in California, 71% in New York, and 86% in Virginia, consistent with the claim's 35%, 44%, 70%, and 84% within rounding.[1]

Supports. Tom Bonier's analysis, quoted by Fifty Plus One, reports the Hispanic share of the early vote is larger than in 2022 in 96% of counties and in every state that has begun voting, supporting the broad direction of the claim.[2]

Context. An NBC report cited by Politicalwire measures Texas Hispanic early voter counts, up 87.2% (about 881,000 more voters), which is a count rather than share and so does not directly test the claimed Texas share figure.[3]

Context. The Texas Tribune reports Hispanic voters were 18% of Texas early voters as of Sunday, 2 points above 2022, a level measure that does not address the percentage-increase figures in the claim.[4]

Context. The TargetSmart data is from a Democratic data firm, and the broader 96% county figure traces back to the same analyst, so the figures are not fully independent of one another.[1][2]
