Latino Democrats also worry about the onslaught of Republican attacks casting them as socialist sympathizers. “The Latino community has lower confidence in mail-in voting than other communities,” Castro said. Florida is home to the country's largest Cuban American population, which often holds more conservative views than other Latino voters. Among those backers is Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who defied the 2018 Democratic wave to win his seat thanks in part to significant support from Latino voters. In another sign of that, Nuestro PAC — headed by Rocha, Sanders’s former Latino outreach coordinator — plans to send 3 million pieces of mail to persuadable Latino voters in Florida and other battleground states.
