One-Third of 2020 Eligible Voters Will Be Nonwhite

Presidential candidates running for the White House in 2020 will face the most diverse electorate in American history when 1 in every 3 people eligible to vote will be nonwhite.

A new analysis from the Pew Research Center shows 66.7 percent of eligible U.S. voters will be white in 2020. For the first time, Hispanic voters will make up the largest minority within the electorate, surpassing black voters.

As recently as the 2000 election, more than three-quarters of the electorate was white. In the nearly two decades since, the number of both Hispanic citizens and Asian-American citizens has nearly doubled, while the African-American population has grown by about 10 percent....

The country’s rapidly changing demographics are hastened by the arrival of Generation Z, those born after 1996, who are just beginning to age into the electorate. Generation Z is both the most ethnically diverse and best-educated age cohort in American history — only 55 percent of that generation is white, compared with 74 percent of the baby-boom generation. Members of Generation Z will make up about 1 in 10 voters eligible to cast a ballot by 2020.

The diversity of the youngest generation means the slow pace of demographic change is going to speed up as more members of Generation Z turn 18 and begin participating in the political process....

By contrast, the baby-boom generation is beginning to lose political clout. Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, will make up 28 percent of the electorate, still the largest generation by population, but only narrowly edging out millennials....

CAIRCO Note

"Immigrants" - meaning legal immigrants and illegal aliens who could receive amnesty - overwhelmingly vote for the Democrat party because the Democrat party gives them the largest number ot taxpayer-paid benefits.

While diversity is good for Democrat votes, it undermines America by encouraging voting according to identity group interests.
