Among multicultural voters, mainly Hispanic or Latino voters, there is less confidence in the United States electoral system, since they consider that there should be better forms of control, but they accuse President Donald Trump of trying to "rig" the processes.

“I really feel that Trump and his henchmen are trying to rig any future election in plain sight,” said a Latino in the 25- to 34-year-old age group, one of the participants for the recent Culture Collective Pulse report from the My Code Intelligence Center for this newspaper, where multicultural voters, including African Americans, the AANHPI population, the LGBTQI community and Latinos, are asked about various topics and problems.

"To be clear, I'm still voting. But I have doubts about Trump and how he manipulates the results. This is a dangerous path toward non-certification of the 2028 elections," said a Latina in the 35- to 44-year-old group.

The report, which is not a statistical survey, but rather a systematized exercise of opinion, reveals that for multicultural communities throughout the country “faith in the democratic process hangs by a thread.”

“People are not just frustrated with a candidate or a party,” the analysis points out.

That is, there is an expression of distrust in how the rules are being modified, in the midst of a war of redistricting – a process known as 'Gerrymandering' – initiated by Republicans in Texas and continued by Democrats in California.

"[Voters] feel that the entire system has been designed to disadvantage them. From the way district lines are drawn to the way votes are counted, there is a growing sense that the system is rigged before anyone even enters the polling place," the report says. “Hispanic voices, in particular, convey deep disillusionment, often describing a system they feel was never created for them.”

Participants in the opinion exercise also consider that large corporations have an influence on the electoral process.

“Large companies can influence electoral decisions, like Elon Musk,” considered a Latina in the group between 18 and 24 years old.

Musk is part of President Trump's political group, even leading the office that attempted to dismantle several areas of government (DOGE) and fired thousands of public officials, triggering several lawsuits. Musk's involvement in politics sparked ethical concerns, given the multimillion-dollar contracts he has with the government.

Three concerns about the electoral process

The Intelligence Center report highlights three aspects that make up voters' concerns: 1) the ballot box no longer feels secure, 2) the rules were written to exclude certain people, and 3) the current administration has made things worse.

"For multicultural adults, confidence in the basic mechanisms of voting has collapsed. It is not just skepticism, but a deep conviction that votes are not counted fairly and that the process can be manipulated by those in power," the report adds.

President Trump has accused millions of votes being cast by undocumented immigrants and that Democrats have allowed it, despite various studies, such as the Brennan Center for Justice in its report “The Truth About Voter Fraud” (2007).

The Intelligence Center analysis adds that the participants in this type of focus group in their opinion exercise expressed concern that the system “can be manipulated or altered from above, making voting seem useless.”

“I really feel that Trump and his henchmen are trying to rig any future election in plain sight,” said a Latino in the group between 25 and 34 years old.

The use of technology

Some participants expressed that there may have been vote falsification in recent years and recognize the importance of improving the electoral system, but do not trust how it is currently being done.

“[A] more secure and accurate voting system is required that would help generate greater confidence in the electoral system,” said a Latina in the group between 25 and 34 years old.

Each state has its own electoral rules, but President Trump is promoting the SAVE Act, a project that could affect the voting of more than 21 million people, according to another report from the Brennan Center for Justice, mainly minority populations and women.

“I know that we trust people and technology, and when that is implemented, we simply leave it in the hands of those in power; we cannot control what we do not know,” acknowledges a Latina between 35 and 44 years old.

The Intelligence Center's findings are relevant heading into the November 3 midterm elections.
