How many Latino voters are there?

The number of Latino voters is increasing every year. In fact, the Latino community is the fastest-growing demographic of voters and it will be for quite some time. In terms of the overall number of votes, it's still only about 8% of the entire national vote but compared to what it was ten years ago, that's significant. It's growing dramatically. No population is growing as dramatically as the Latino voters. And so it will continue to expand. Now we represent as Latino Americans about 15% of the population. We represent, as I said about 8% of the vote. So there is a lot of room for growth. A lot of Latinos are not yet citizens, on the way to becoming citizens but not yet so they can't vote. We are the youngest demographic in the nation. So by a factor of about 8 years, we are younger than most of our peers. And so we have a lot of young Latinos who are not yet 18 years of age to be able to vote.
