Former Arizona governor Jan Brewer declared Friday that Arizona wont go blue for Hillary Clinton because Hispanic Democrats dont vote.
They dont get out and vote. They dont vote, she told the Boston Globe when asked if those constituents could help tip the historically conservative state to a Democratic presidential nominee.
Arizona has been trending purple for years, due in large part to the states significant Latino population. An Arizona Republic poll released Thursday found Clinton holding a 5-point lead in the state, which was once thought unwinnable for a Democratic presidential candidate.
Nationally, Donald Trumps rhetoric about Latino immigrants has also helped boost Clintons popularity among Latino voters, with one recent Pew Research survey handing her a 39-point advantage over her Republican opponent.

"Activists have been trying to unify us for years to get us out to register, to vote, to speak up, to get a Latin Spring going, and Trumps done that for us. Were registering in ridiculous numbers all around the country. Republican Cubans in Florida are not going to vote for Trump, and now Florida is not so run by the Latin Republican Cubans.
