latinos tend to be pretty catholic

Plus gerrymandering.

Plus people who can’t be bothered to vote.

plus shutting down voting locations in predominantly non-white citizen areas in texas, especially in houston and the areas south of san antonio.

plus shutting down key locations in certain areas of the city throughout every major blue city to make it really inconvenient to vote.

plus understaffing specific locations in certain areas of the city to make it inconvenient to vote

plus a fair number of automatically “accidentally”changing votes on evoting machines in favor of the republicans that, if the person didn’t refuse to confirm and go back and correct choices they made, oops you voted all republican.

plus ken paxton withholding mail in votes because “it would have turned the state blue if the mail in ballots from austin area weren’t blocked.”

I looked this up because I thought Catholics traditionally leaned heavily democratic. According to wikipedia, that was the case into the 60s. The past few decades they've split fairly evenly between democrats and republicans, so I don't think that alone i's too much of a driving factor.
