Abstract: In this data essay, we analyzed the national and state-level shifts in racial and ethnic makeup of the United States electorate from 2000 to 2018. The term “eligible voters” refer to persons ages 18 and older who are U.S. citizens. All references to Asian, Black and White adults are single-race and refer to the non-Hispanic components of those populations. Hispanics are of any race. This data essay’s analysis is based on Pew Research Center tabulations derived from the following U.S. Census Bureau data: the American Community Survey (2018 and 2010), the 2000 U.S. decennial census, and the November Voting and Registration Supplement of the Current Population Survey (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016).
