If anything, minorities are voting with more frequency and in larger percentages than at any other recent time.
Stephen Moore: Unleash Prosperity Hotline – All we hear about from the Left these days are shouts of voter suppression. The WSJ editorial page explodes that myth in its editorial this weekend Democrats' Jim Crow fantasy:
Some 45.1% of the black voting-age citizen population cast ballots in 2022 and 51.1% did in 2018, according to Census Bureau data. That's significantly higher than the black turnouts in three midterms prior to Shelby County; 2010 (43.5%), 2006 (41%) and 2002 (42.3%).
Voting among Hispanics and Asians has also increased over the last two decades. About 40% of Asian citizens cast ballots in the 2018 and 2022 midterms, versus 30.8% in 2010. Hispanic turnout rose to 37.9% in 2022 and 40.4% in 2018 from 31.2% in 2010. In 2020 the share of eligible Hispanics (53.7%) and Asian voters (59.7%) who cast ballots hit records.

We think a picture is worth a thousand words so we prepared the chart below showing the trend of minority voting in non-presidential election years. The numbers are up not down for each minority group.If anything, minorities are voting with more frequency and in larger percentages than at any other recent time.
