I never got this either especially with the high Latino population.
Latino != Democratic. The best example of this was the presidential election this year in Florida.
Most Latinos in NV are of Mexican ancestry. Mexican-Americans are generally among the most pro-Democratic Party voter base. However, obviously, Mexican-Americans aren't monolithic at all and Clark County, NV isn't just Las Vegas.
New Mexico and RGV Latinos aren’t necessarily “Mexican”. As in, they aren’t part of immigrant waves from Mexico. But yeah, heavily Mexican areas seem to have swung R this year.
