Latino voters are showing up in 'unprecedented' numbers in Florida early voting

[RandySF]

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is touting a substantial 99% increase in Latino voting in Florida compared to this point in 2012, with 133,000 Hispanics already casting their ballot in the state, as part of its major focus on getting its base to vote early in key swing states.

The campaign included the figure it called “unprecedented” in its latest field report Monday, as early voting begins in Florida, with the 133,000 votes comprising mail-in and absentee ballots. Last week, it said that in bellwether Pinellas County in Florida, which is 10% Latino, Democrats now maintain a voter registration advantage that’s increased since March.

With Latinos comprising 17% of the state’s electorate in 2012, and perhaps being a more important part of Clinton’s coalition in 2016, the numbers are very encouraging for the campaign.

Early voting in other states with large Latino populations has also buoyed the campaign’s outlook.

He thought he could gain enough votes by praying on "HIS PEOPLE" to elect him. He failed, and I hope the name Trump disappears into the black hole of history.
