John,

2016 may not feel like a long time ago. But everything from the 2020 election to the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the dynamics of U.S. politics. With these changes, the demographics of the American electorate have continued to evolve.

Now, with the 2022 midterm elections just weeks away, it’s a good time to consider how individual races could be impacted by shifting demographics. 

The American Immigration Council’s new report and data interactive, Midterms 2022: The Changing Demographics of the Electorate, highlights the changes in the demographics of eligible voters in every state now compared to 2016, broken down by gender, age, and ethnicity.

Some findings of the report include: 

• Texas saw significant growth among immigrant voters in the last six years. Now, 1 in 9 eligible voters in Texas are immigrants.
   

• Several swing states have a rapidly growing number of Hispanic voters. Nevada saw the largest increase, with Hispanic voters now making up over 22% of the electorate. 
   

• Idaho—the fastest growing state by population size this year—also saw the fastest growth in its voting eligible population between 2016 and 2022, jumping 18%.  

This data may help determine who wins or loses in November in heavily contested states like Georgia, New Hampshire, and Texas.
