Daily News | Philly’s low voter turnout is a warning sign hidden in Pennsylvania Democrats’ big wins
In Pennsylvania, the steepest dives were in heavily Latino cities like Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Reading, and Allentown, which all saw turnout drop even more than Philadelphia . Some community leaders said the turnout in Latino communities shows a failure of candidates and both parties to connect with long neglected voters.
Almirón helped lead a bilingual canvassing push the week before the election in the city’s 42nd Ward, near Hunting Park in North Philadelphia. The goal was to draw out people who show up for presidential elections but not midterms. Still, most of the ward’s 2020 voters sat this one out.“Our community is very rarely prioritized,” she said. “No one’s talking to them or the funding doesn’t come down until late — or the canvassers are not our people or they’re not bilingual.
About 12% of Philadelphia’s eligible voters are Hispanic or Latino, according to Census Bureau estimates, and the state has about 600,000 voting-age Latino citizens. Malcolm Kenyatta, a state representative in North Philly, said having no hometown candidates on the ballot might have hurt. But he thinks politicians need to talk to voters more to fully understand what’s happening.
Democrats won a lot of independent voters and voters in rural areas where the party hasn’t traditionally performed well. Some may have been particularly motivated to turn out against Trump-aligned candidates.
