Hispanic Early Voter Turnout in Nevada Could Bode Well for Clinton - ABC
On the last day of early voting in Nevada, a line of people snaked through Cardenas Market and out into the parking lot of the Latin American grocery store chain in Las Vegas as polling hours were extended to accommodate the massive turnout.
The market, an early voting site, stayed open until 10 p.m. Friday night, with many of the mostly Latino voters there waiting in line two hours to vote. By the time the grocery store closed, over 57,000 people had cast ballots in Clark County, a record-breaking turnout for single-day early voting in the county, according to ABC affiliate KTNV.
The big turnout of early voters in Nevada from communities with large Latino populations could bode well for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whose Republican rival Donald Trump may have alienated many voters of Hispanic origin with his comments about immigrants and plans to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. More than 30 percent of Clark County residents are Hispanic, according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
"Looks like Trump got his wall after all. A wall of beautiful voters," Yvanna Cancela, political director of the Culinary Union in Las Vegas, wrote on Twitter. - ABC News

That is beautiful indeed! It reminds me of the long lines of African-American voters in the 2012 election. Thank you to every one of those patriots!
