With the 2nd Congressional District being a competitive ground for Republicans and Democrats, nonpartisan groups are working to increase Latino voter turnout in Nebraska.
Community Outreach and Education: Teaching Adults How to Vote in Nebraska
In a South Omaha classroom, Jackie Prados, an organizer with the League of Women Voters of Greater Omaha, taught a crash course on Nebraska government and voting to eight adults at the Latino Center of the Midlands.
Although six of the students were not eligible to vote as they were not U.S. citizens, Prados encouraged them to spread the word to their friends who could vote, stating that if each person in the room encouraged 10 friends to vote, they could reach over 100 people.
The Power of Social Networks: Spreading the Word to Vote
Prados’ work is part of a larger movement of outreach efforts from nonpartisan groups aiming to get Latino voters in Nebraska to the polls.
Latino voters are the second-largest group of voters and the fastest-growing demographic in Nebraska, with the 2nd Congressional District being instrumental in winning Omaha’s electoral vote for President Joe Biden in 2020.
However, Republicans cut into Democrats’ national lead with Latino voters in 2020, and the changing sentiments of Latino voters could determine who wins the race for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District seat.
Nonpartisan Groups: Encouraging Latino Voters to the Polls
Some barriers holding the Latino electorate’s votes back locally and nationwide include limited Spanish-language resources, with ballots in the counties that make up District 2 often only available in English.
