Wisconsin is one of seven battleground states that seem poised to decide the outcome of the presidential election which takes place in less than a week, along with Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada and Arizona. The gap between both major candidates in these states is so slim that the Latino vote figures to be crucial, especially in Arizona and Nevada, where Latino registered voters add up to 18% and 17% of the electorate respectively.
Wisconsin, on the other hand, only holds less than 4% of Latino voters in its registry, with an estimated 115,000, mostly of Mexican heritage. However, considering that the last two presidential elections in Wisconsin were decided by less than 1% each (Donald Trump won in 2016 by 23,000 votes, while Joe Biden too back the state for the Democrats by just 25,000 in 2020), Latinos will be fundamental for whoever wins come November.
