PHOENIX (AP) — A national organization that aims to boost Latino voter turnout is launching a $10 million campaign in several 2020 battleground states.
Latino leaders and civic groups launched a bilingual campaign this week in Nevada and other states to register new voters and increase Hispanic participation at the polls this fall.
The goal is to register 150,000 new Latino voters nationwide, including 15,000 in Nevada.
Political season is upon us, and pundits all over the media have been pontificating on how much, say, one candidate’s anti-immigration comments will - or will not- hurt him at the voting booth.
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau in 2010 Latino voter registration declined by 5 percent or 600,000 voters. An analysis of the Census data by the California-based William C. Velasquez Institute says Latino voter registration will only modestly improve Latino voter performance at the polls in 2012 compared to 2008.
