The plan increases the share of Hispanic voters in three of the five districts targeted by the GOP, banking that enough will turn out and vote for Republicans without Donald Trump on the ballot.

Trump outperformed Republicans among Latino voters throughout Texas last year. Across counties that were at least 75 percent Hispanic, Trump ran 8.6 points ahead of Sen. Ted Cruz, indicating Latino voters were more likely to cast their ballots for both Cruz’s Democratic rival, Colin Allred, and Trump.

“In Texas in particular, Hispanic voters are more loyal to their paychecks and Texas than they are to a party,” former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Dan Sena said. “That’s part of the appeal of Trump. But when he’s not on the ticket, some of that support erodes.”
