Voter turnout among Latino Texans is typically low. But this year, issues that many members of these communities care about are front and center.

A view from the Texas Democratic Convention in June. While the Democrats' prophesized "blue wave" largely cites demographic changes as a shifting among the Texas electorate, those numbers haven't yet been born out at the polls.
From KUT:
Texas Democrats see an opening during this year’s midterm election. They are hoping to pick up seats in Congress that they haven’t won in a long time, as well as a slew of seats down the ballot. To do that, though, the party will have to get Latinos in Texas – who don’t often go to the polls – to vote in higher numbers.
