"In 2024, Hispanic voters in New Jersey took a hard shift to the right compared to 2020 voting. In the recent 2025 election, they shifted back to the left. The Times analyzed data from more than 500 townships in the 19 of New Jersey's 21 counties where results data was available, accounting for over 90 percent of votes cast in the governor's race."
"(Union and Warren Counties have not yet reported township-level results.) The two cities that shifted the most toward Democrats were those with the highest percentage of Hispanic voters in the state: Union City and Perth Amboy. The maps show a mirror image. A bubble chart also suggests townships with a higher Hispanic population shifted back more towards Democrat."
Hispanic voting patterns in New Jersey shifted markedly between 2020, 2024, and 2025. A pronounced move to the right occurred in 2024 relative to 2020, followed by a reversal toward Democrats in the 2025 governor’s race. Analysis covered more than 500 townships across 19 of 21 counties, representing over 90 percent of votes, with Union and Warren Counties outstanding. Union City and Perth Amboy showed the largest shifts back to Democrats and have the highest Hispanic populations. Geographic maps displayed a mirror‑image pattern of shifts, and a bubble chart indicated a correlation between higher Hispanic share and a shift back toward Democratic candidates.
