This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

A group called Somos Votantes is spending $6 million to organise Latino voters in Texas. The effort includes a $2 million statewide voter education campaign, which focuses on door-to-door conversations and voter registration. Its affiliated political committee, Somos PAC, is preparing a $4 million advertising campaign. The ads will target three areas in South Texas.

Latino voters in Texas have trended away from the Democratic Party in recent elections. The group’s campaign aims to reverse that shift, which it sees as critical to Democratic hopes of gaining seats in Congress. The $6 million investment was reported by multiple outlets, all of which described Somos Votantes as left-leaning.

What the coverage left out

None of the right-rated outlets ran the story at all, according to the reports available. The left and centre-rated digests did not include the names of the three South Texas areas targeted by the advertising campaign, nor did they specify a timeline for the spending or the campaign’s expected duration.
