Voter Suppression of Hispanics in the United States of America: A Strategy to Ensure the Maintenance of Political Power

Abstract

The Republican Party has systematically developed an array of strategies to suppress the votes of Latinos in the United States in order to maintain their position of political power. This study considers these strategies, based on changing demographics since 1963, and the inability of the Republican Party to attract minority voters to their cause.
