Expect About a Third Of Voting-Eligible Latinos In Miderms

*The startling statistic is this: there are 25.5 million Latinos eligible to vote in the U.S. That only 8% (7.8 million) will vote this November is the status quo – no change from 2010. We talk about 7.8 million having a decisive effect on the outcome, imagine the impact of 25.5 million. VL

The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, NALEO,announced its biennial Latino vote projection Tuesday at the National Press Club.
