According to the Pew Research Center, Hispanics who are registered to vote lean Democrat on the issue of immigration. However, there is a much more even split when non-voters are included the poll. The Scott strategy was simple – target politically affluent Hispanics who tend to hold more moderate and conservative views, particularly on the issues of border security and abortion, and get them to the polls.
Whether or not Scott’s strategy works again during his potential U.S. Senate bid against Democrat Bill Nelson will be seen in 2018.
