ABOUT THE NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP FOR NEW AMERICANS

The National Partnership for New Americans is a national multiethnic, multiracial

partnership. We represent the collective power and resources of the country’s 41 largest

regional immigrant and refugee rights organizations in 37 states. Our members provide

large-scale services—from Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals application

processing to voter registration to health care enrollment—for their communities, and

they combine service delivery with sophisticated organizing tactics to advance local and

state policy. We exist to leverage their collective power and expertise for a national

strategy.

We believe America’s success is rooted in our ongoing commitment to welcoming and

integrating newcomers into the fabric of our nation, and to upholding equality and

opportunity as fundamental American values.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYNewly naturalized citizens in ten states have the power to elect the next President of the

United States. In these states--Michigan, Florida, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,

Nevada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas--when compared to the

margin of victory for the 2016 presidential election, New American Voters have the

largest likelihood of tipping the scale and being the decider of who will occupy the White

House for the next four years. This multi-racial, multi-generational, and slightly majority-

women group of naturalized citizens represent a potential voting bloc that can also

decide who controls the U.S. Senate by voting in states like Arizona, North Carolina,

Colorado, Maine, Michigan and Georgia.

These potential voters are a substantial but only part of the larger group of new citizens

who have naturalized since 2014. By the time of the 2020 presidential and Senate

elections, they can total an estimated 5.3 million.

However, the critical factor for newly naturalized citizens to use this political power and

impact is registration and turnout. Newly naturalized citizens have lower voter

registration and turnout rates than U.S.-born citizens.¹ This means that voter

mobilization efforts specifically targeting recently naturalized citizens are necessary.

This is why the National Partnership for New Americans, a coalition of 41 immigrant and

refugee rights organizations, is launching the New American Voters 2020 campaign with

its member organizations and national partners. The campaign will encourage newly

naturalized citizens to register and vote by strategically targeting them, especially in

politically important states where they reside in large numbers. It will do this in culturally

sophisticated ways like partnerships with ethnic media, digital and social media

advertisements, public service announcements, working with mayors and cities, and

recruiting celebrities, cultural figures, and influencers to get the message out to newly

naturalized citizens.

KEY FINDINGSNewly naturalized citizens are a potential voting block of over 5 million that is multi-racial, multi-generational, and are composed of a slight majority of women.

Large numbers of the estimated 5.3 million new citizens, 3.1 million of which naturalized after the election of Donald Trump, have responded to the Trump administration’s multiple attacks on immigrant and refugee communities by naturalizing.

Almost 70 percent (68.44 percent) of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 are originally from Latin American and Asian and Pacific Islander countries and almost 90 percent (88.24 percent) are from countries in Latin America, Asia and Pacific Islands, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean.

The majority of newly naturalized citizens are women (55.6 percent).

Roughly one third of newly naturalized citizens (32.6 percent) were 18 to 34 years old when they naturalized, another rough one third (36.5 percent) were 35 to 49 years old, and the last, almost one third (30.9 percent) were 50 years old and above.

If they vote, they can sway the outcome of the upcoming Presidential and Senate elections, future midterms elections, and elections of state and local seats, especially in politically important states like Florida, Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Texas, Colorado, Maine, Virginia, and New Mexico, among others.

In Florida, for example, the largest number of naturalized citizens from 2014 to 2018 in Florida, those originally from Cuba, were larger than the margin of victory during the 2016 presidential election. The next, largest groups of naturalized citizens, those originally from Haiti, Colombia, Jamaica, Venezuela, and Mexico, combined, are larger than the 2016 margin of victory.

In Michigan, the number of citizens from Iraq who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 alone is larger than the 2016 Presidential margin of victory.

The number of newly naturalized citizens from 2014 to 2018 is larger than the 2016 margins of victory for the President in Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. Their numbers near the margin of victory in Arizona, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

The number of newly naturalized citizens from 2014 to 2018 are larger than the margins of victory for Senate seats that are up for re-election in 2020 in North Carolina and Virginia. Their numbers near margins of victory in New Hampshire and Colorado. They can also sway the outcome of hotly contested elections in Arizona and Maine.

While newly naturalized citizens are a potential voting bloc, voter mobilization efforts specifically targeting them, and the diverse groups represented by new citizens, are needed in order for all of their votes to be cast.

METHODOLOGYThis report is based on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) data on naturalizations that occurred from Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 through FY 2018 and naturalization applications that the agency approved in FY 2019.² The estimates for naturalizations during FY 2020 is based on previous spikes in naturalizations in FY 2016, before that calendar year’s presidential election.³ “Newly naturalized citizens” are defined as those who have naturalized since FY 2014. “New American Voters” are defined as those who have naturalized since FY 2014 and can subsequently register to vote.

Being based on USCIS data, this report and its tables separate the region where newly naturalized citizens are originally from, or race, by Latin America, Asia and the Pacific Islands, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and the Caribbean. The one exception is Table 10, which is based on the United Census Bureau and its American Community Survey, which separates the regions of birth for newly naturalized citizens in counties with over 1,000 naturalized citizens by Latin American, Asian, African, European, Oceania, and North America.⁴ Table 10 coversthe time period of 2013 through 2017. All of the tables referenced throughout this report and additional tables can be found in the addendum.

The New American Voters Impact Model in Tables 8 and 18 calculates what are the most “politically important states” based on six factors: (1) the newly naturalized from 2014 to 2018 as a multiple of the state’s 2016 presidential vote margin; (2) the average presidential election margin (in 2008, 2012, and 2016); (3) group density; (4) the presence of a competitive U.S. Senate race; (5) the presence of a competitive gubernatorial race; and (6) the presence of a competitive race for control of state legislative chambers.⁵ All of these factors are multiplied by each other in order toarrive at a raw score. That raw score is standardized on a 1 to 99 scale, as seen in Table 18. The 15 highest scoring states are represented in Table 8 and are termed “politically important states” throughout this report. A more in-depth explanation of the model factors can be found in the addendum.

See Iñiguez-López, Diego, "Naturalize Now, Vote Tomorrow: New Americans Vote 2020," National Partnership for New Americans, February2020, https://partnershipfornewamericans.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Naturalize_Now_Vote_Tomorrow_FINAL.pdf.4. See "American Community Survey," United States Census Bureau, accessed June 8, 2020, https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/data-profiles/2017/.5.The more stratified New Americans are in a state, the more effort it will take to mobilize them: more languages, different messages, different stakeholders and validators. This factor gives heavier weight to states that have significant clusters of one group, and lower weight to states with multiple significant clusters. In Arizona, those originally from Latin America are 54% of the New American population, followed by AAPI at 20%; whereas Michigan has 34% MENA, 30% AAPI, 20% European, and 11% Latin American. Therefore, Arizona has a higher group density score than Michigan (although Michigan still ranks #2 due to other factors).

RISING ELECTORATE OF NEW AMERICAN VOTERSNewly naturalized citizens represent a potential voting bloc that is multi-racial, multi-generational, geographically diverse, and almost evenly split among men and women, with a slight majority of women. If they register and ultimately vote as a bloc, they can help to determine the outcome of national, state, and local elections. Significant subsets of naturalized citizens in certain states can also ultimately decide who is elected.

WHO ARE NEW AMERICAN VOTERS AND WHERE ARE THEYNewly naturalized citizens are estimated to reach as high as 5.3 million by the time of the 2020 presidential and Senate elections. That number will likely be smaller due to USCIS closing its offices and cancelling naturalization oath ceremonies during the coronavirus pandemic and refusing to conduct remote oath ceremonies during the pandemic. Still, newly naturalized citizens will reach approximately 5 million by the time of this year’s elections.⁶

Over 37% of newly naturalized citizens from 2014 to 2018 are originally from Latin American countries (37.83 percent), as seen in Table 1. Over 30% are Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) (30.61 percent). Those from European countries represent 11.76 percent. Over seven percent are from African countries (7.74 percent). Those originally from Middle Eastern and North African countries are nearly seven percent (6.71 percent). And newly naturalized citizens originally from Caribbean countries represent over five percent of the total number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 (5.35 percent).

Latin American and Asian and Pacific Islander countries represent 68.44 percent of new citizens. The vast majority, almost 90 percent (88.24 percent) are originally from countries in Latin America, Asia and Pacific Islands, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean.

This racially and regionally diverse, potential voting bloc consists of a slight majority of women (55.6 percent), though in some age groups that majority is slightly larger (60% of naturalized citizens who are 75 years and older) and in others it’s smaller (50.3% in naturalized citizens from 18-19 years old and 52.9% for those who are 20-24 years old), as seen in Tables 2 and 3.

This potential voting bloc is also particularly diverse among age groups, as seen in Tables 2 and 3. Almost one third of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018, 32.6 percent, were 18 to 34 years old when they naturalized. Almost one third, 36.5 percent, were 35 to 49 years old. And one third, roughly, 30.9 percent, were 50 years old and above. 53.9 percent of all naturalized citizens during this period were 40 years old and above while 46.1 percent were under 40 years old, representing a multi-generational demographic reality.

The states with the highest number of newly naturalized citizens are California, Florida, New York, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, as seen in Table 4.

NEW AMERICAN VOTERS IN POLITICALLY IMPORTANT STATES

While newly naturalized citizens have large numbers in states like California, New York, and Illinois, the power of this electorate is most visible in states like Florida, Michigan, and Arizona. These latter, politically important states not only have large numbers of newly naturalized citizens but also other factors, including a slim margin of victory during the 2016 presidential election, an upcoming competitive Senate election, and contested Gubernatorial and state legislative elections.

The New American Voters Impact Model combines these and other factors to rank states by the impact new citizens can exercise in 2020 (Tables 7 and 8). Table 7 calculates how the 15 most politically impactful states are broken down by the region of birth of newly naturalized citizens, i.e. how many newly naturalized citizens are from Latin America, Asia or Pacific Islands, Europe, Africa, the Middle East or North Africa, or the Caribbean.

When viewed together, the data shows that New American Voters can have a decisive impact on 2020, including newly naturalized citizens from Latin America and the Caribbean in Florida, those from the Middle East and North Africa in Michigan, and those from Asia and the Pacific Islands in Pennsylvania.

In addition, the following region-based groups of newly naturalized citizens can have a major impact in politically important states (Table 9):

POTENTIAL IMPACT OF NEWLY NATURALIZED CITIZENS IN 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONIn 2020, New American Voters can have an especially large impact during the presidential election in the following states.

In Florida, the margin of victory in the 2016 presidential election was 112,911 ballots.⁷ The number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 is almost triple that margin, at 415,468, as seen in Table 7. During that same time period, the total number of citizens who naturalized from Haiti, Colombia, Jamaica, Venezuela, and Mexico exceeded that margin. The amount of naturalized citizens from Cuba alone, during that same time period, exceeded the 2016 margin.

In Michigan, the margin during the 2016 presidential election was 10,704 ballots.⁸ The number of citizens from Iraq who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 exceeds that number at 13,515. During that same time period, the total number of citizens who naturalized was 64,693, and by 2020 can reach as high as 81,925. The number of citizens who have naturalized since 2014 is at least six times the 2016 margin, and, by the time of the 2020 presidential election, can be almost eight times that margin.

In New Hampshire, the 2016 margin was 2,736 votes.⁹ From 2014 to 2018, the number of naturalized citizens from Bhutan, India, Dominican Republic, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Brazil in New Hampshire alone exceeds that margin of victory. The total number of citizens who naturalized during that time period, 7,915, almost triples it.

In Arizona, the 2016 margin was 91,234 votes.¹⁰ By the time of the 2020 presidential election, there can be as high as 86,131 voters who have naturalized since 2014. Almost half of all who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 were from Mexico; 28,454 out of 60,673 citizens.

In Pennsylvania, the 2016 margin was 44,292 votes.¹¹ The number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 is almost double that margin, at 82,052, over half of whom are from India, the Dominican Republic, China, and Bhutan. The anticipated number of newly naturalized from 2014 to 2020 can almost triple the 2016 margin of victory, at 128,672.

The 2016 margin in Minnesota was 44,593.¹² The number of naturalized citizens from 2014 to 2018 nears that margin, at 41,256, with the most representation from those originally from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Mexico. The number of citizens who have naturalized is expected to almost double the 2016 margin of victory, from 2014 to the time of the presidential election, at 76,058.

In Nevada, the margin during 2016 was 27,202 votes.¹³ The number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 is 39,265, with forty five percent being from Mexico and the Philippines. The number of newly naturalized citizens can reach as high as 59,332 by the time of the 2020 election.

In Wisconsin, the margin was 22,748 votes.¹⁴ The number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 nears that margin, at 19,003, with Mexico leading in representation, followed by India, Thailand, Laos, China, Philippines, and Burma. The number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2020 is anticipated to exceed the 2016 margin of victory, at 29,639.

POTENTIAL IMPACT OF NEWLY NATURALIZED CITIZENS IN 2020 SENATE ELECTIONSNewly naturalized can also sway the outcome of Senate elections taking place in 2020.

For example, the New Hampshire Senate seat up for re-election in 2020 had a margin of victory of 15,876 votes in 2014.¹⁵ By the time of that election, there will be an estimated 11,273 citizens who have naturalized since 2014, with the largest representation from citizens from Bhutan, India, and the Dominican Republic.

In Arizona, a special election for the late John McCain’s former Senate seat will be highly contested in a state that saw 60,673 citizens naturalize from 2014 to 2018, with an overwhelming amount from Mexico, followed by Iraq.¹⁶ From 2014 to 2020, there are an expected 86,131 citizens who will have naturalized.

The North Carolina Senate seat up for reelection in 2020 had a margin of 48,511 votes.¹⁷ The number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 dwarfs that number at 62,555, with a large number of citizens who are from Mexico, India, Vietnam, and China. By 2020, the number of citizens in North Carolina who have naturalized since 2014 can reach as high as 98,937. These numbers also exceed the 2016 margin of victory (10,277 votes) for the North Carolina governorship that is up for re-election this year.¹⁸

In Maine, the small state is predicted to have one of the most competitive races for Senate in the country in 2020.¹⁹ There, 4,821 citizens have naturalized between 2014 and 2018, with the most represented countries being Somalia and Iraq. An estimated 7,227 citizens will have naturalized from 2014 to 2020.

In Colorado, another state with a highly contested Senate seat that’s up for re-election, the 2014 margin of victory for that seat was 49,729 votes.²⁰ From 2014 to 2018, 37,938 citizens naturalized in Colorado, led by citizens born in Mexico followed by Ethiopia, with an estimated 59,806 citizens expected to naturalize from 2014 up to the election.

In Virginia, the Senate seat up for re-election had a margin of 16,727 votes in 2014.²¹ The number of citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018 who are from India, El Salvador, and the Philippines exceeds that margin of victory at 20,445. New citizens originally from the top three Asian and Pacific Islander countries, India, the Philippines, and South Korea, exceed that margin at 18,197. Virginia had 98,335 citizens who naturalized from 2014 to 2018; almost six times the 2014 margin of victory. From 2014 to 2020, there are expected to be 110,114 newly naturalized citizens.

NEW AMERICAN VOTERS 2020 CAMPAIGNThe impact of newly naturalized citizens can be impactful and even decisive. However, the turnout rates of naturalized citizens continues to be lower than that of U.S.-born citizens. In 2016, 54% of naturalized citizens voted compared to 62% of U.S.-born citizens.²² Since 2000, the voting rate of naturalized citizens was on average nine percent lower than U.S.-born citizens’ voter rates in all presidential elections.

The New American Voters 2020 campaign can help to reduce that gap and echo historical moments where, as leading academic, Matt Baretto stated, “political attacks during the 1990s on California's Latino immigrants” led to an “increase in citizenship, voter registration, and voter mobilization drives within the foreign-born Latino community.”²³ Similarly, attacks by the Trump administration against immigrant and refugee communities have led to record-level numbers of potential voters.

By targeting newly naturalized citizens, the campaign can reduce the registration and turnout gap. This requires the deep relationships and cultural understanding that member organizations of the National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA) have developed over years through their naturalization programs and political organizing. As leading scholar Caroline Wong writes, Hmong Americans exceed all other Asian American groups in voter turnout because of their "social voting" or "voting together," based on social networks "formed in the neighborhood, through a social organization, or through an ethnic community."²⁴ Traditional electoral models would not predict this, as Hmong Americans on average have a lower educational attainment rate, a lower median household income, and a larger poverty rate when compared to Asian American and the U.S. average.²⁵

The New American Voters 2020 campaign will tap into these cultural, community, and organizational networks through national communications efforts and assisting localized Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts. These complementary efforts will target the largest groups of naturalized citizens in politically important states. For example, it will produce multi-language materials aimed at different groups among the newly naturalized, educate through traditional and social media, recruit celebrities, cultural actors, and influencers, and engage with national ethnic media.

Locally, the campaign will amplify GOVT efforts with phone-banking, mailings to lists of newly naturalized citizens, targeting specific groups through social media, and working with mayors and cities to get the message out to their communities.

The Campaign, led by member organizations of NPNA, with national partners like America’s Voice, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Church World Service, Fair Immigration Reform Movement, Immigration Advocates Network, League of Women Voters, Service Employees International Union, UnidosUS, UNITE HERE, and Vote Early Day, seeks to implement a data-driven strategy to encourage the millions of newly naturalized citizens to vote . Increasing New American Voters’ turnout even marginally in certain states can dramatically impact the outcomes of elections from president to state legislative chambers, and shape the direction of our nation in the coming years and decades.

EXPLANATION OF FACTORS IN THE NEW AMERICAN VOTERS IMPACT MODEL

The six factors of the New American Voters Impact Model used in Tables 8 and 18 are:

Naturalized as Multiple of 2016 Vote Margin: Calculates the ratio of newly naturalized to the margin in that state’s 2016 presidential election. For example, Florida has 614,122 newly naturalized, and the 2016 margin was 112,911 votes. Therefore, Florida’s multiple = 614,122 / 112,911 = 5.44. In Nevada, the multiple is 2.18. In California, it is 0.25, because even though there are over one million newly naturalized, the 2016 margin exceeded four million.

Weighted Presidential Average (2018, 2012, 2016) - WPA: While 2016 margins ought to carry significant weight, we should not ignore recent margins in each state. This factor averages the last three presidential elections’ margins and assigns a score equal to log (1/avg). In North Carolina, where the average presidential margin is 2%, this number is 1.70. In Pennsylvania, where the margin is 5.5%, this number is 1.26. In California, where the average margin is 26%, WPA is 0.59. Smaller margins lead to higher WPAs, and vice versa.

Group Density: The more racially stratified New Americans are in a state, the more effort it will take to mobilize them: more languages, different messages, different stakeholders and validators. This factor gives heavier weight to states that have significant clusters of one racial group, and lower weight to states with multiple significant clusters. In Arizona, those from Latin America are 54% of the New American population, followed by AAPI at 20%; whereas Michigan has 34% MENA, 30% AAPI, 20% European, and 11% from Latin America. Therefore, Arizona has a higher group density score than Michigan. (Michigan still ranks #2 due to other factors).

U.S. Senate Battleground: Scores are impacted if there is a contested U.S. Senate election. Based on the Cook Political Report’s rankings, we assign scores of 2.5 (tossup), 2 (leaning one party), 1.5 (likely one party), or 1 (solid one party, or no election). North Carolina, which has a tossup U.S. Senate seat, gets a weight of 2.5 on this factor, while Illinois, which has a U.S. Senate election that is not considered at risk for the incumbent, the score is 1.

Gubernatorial Battleground: Scores are impacted based if there is a contested gubernatorial election. Based on the Cook Political Report’s rankings, we assign scores of 2.5 (tossup), 2 (leaning one party), 1.5 (likely one party), or 1 (solid one party, or no election). Montana, which has a tossup gubernatorial election, gets a weight of 2.5 on this factor, while New Hampshire, which has an election that is likely to favor the incumbent, the score is 1.

State Legislative Battleground: Scores are impacted if there are contested state legislative chamber battlegrounds. Based on the Cook Political Report’s rankings, we assign scores of 2 (two chamber tossup), 1.75 (one chamber tossup), 1.5 (two chambers lean), 1.25 (one chamber leans), or 1 (no legislative elections, or no battleground). In Arizona, both chambers are up for grabs (weight of 2); in Virginia, there are no legislative elections (weight of 1).

These factors are multiplied by each other to arrive at a raw score, then standardized on a 1 - 99 scale.
