Very interesting. A few questions this throws up:

— What drove increased turnout/motivation, and why was this specific to Hispanics and Asians (white and black turnout was comparatively stagnant according to this)? Why were new Hispanic voters mostly pro-Trump?
— If, as the report suggests, Covid was a major factor in this, why did Hispanics respond more negatively to lockdowns than other groups? More broadly, why was Covid a positive for Trump among Hispanics when it hurt him among the rest of the electorate?
— How was a pro-Trump Hispanic media bubble able to be engineered between 2019 and 2020? Cuban talk radio, for instance, was a major factor in driving conservative opinion among the community in the 80s, 90s and early 00s, but seemed to have all but disappeared as a key political influence in Miami. How was a conservative Hispanic media bubble resurrected in South FL and elsewhere in the past 2 years?
— Should the GOP stop talking about immigration? Will the number of Hispanic voters gained outweigh the number of WWC voters potentially lost?
— Slightly off-topic but: massive swings in Miami-Dade extended beyond just Cubans and Latin Americans, into black and white communities. Why? And was the Hispanic swing in Miami more of a Miami thing than a Hispanic thing?
— While basic maths might suggest that Trump gains in the RGV were more due to him turning out previous nonvoters than persuasion, is it actually realistic that 90%+ of new voters there went for Trump? Was vote-switching in fact a key part of the equation in the RGV, and if so, why?
