One First-Time Voter's Experience At The Polls

Associated Press

Political pundits have a hunch the Latino vote in Nevada will have a huge influence on the state's overall election results.

That means, with Nevada's role in the presidential race, the demographic has a lot of sway.

One key to those votes? Nevada's immigrant population.

Aura Hernandez is a first-time voter in 2016, after becoming a U.S. citizen with the help of Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) and her staff.

We talk to Hernandez and Rep. Titus about the election, and why Hernandez thought it was important to vote specifically in this election.
