Resumen
El presente artículo analiza la importancia del voto latino en las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 en Estados Unidos, considerando el incremento de esta población en los últimos veinte años y su composición por grupos nacionales. Se documenta dicho crecimiento como producto de los flujos migratorios, en contraste con su tendencia a convertirse en ciudadanos estadouni-denses, que afecta su peso electoral. Por último, se establece su ubicación geográfica a fin de considerar el peso electoral en los “estados columpio” (swing states), donde tiene lugar la ma-yor competitividad para la conformación del Colegio Electoral.
