Dems struggle to mobilize Latino voters for midterms
The Hill, Oct 11, 2018, Melanie Zanona

Democrats have a major edge when it comes to support among female voters, but they have struggled to lock down another key voting bloc: Latinos.

While midterm voter turnout among Hispanics has historically been lower than other demographic groups, many on the left have been hoping that President Trump's hard-line immigration policies and heated rhetoric will lead to a surge of energized Latinos at the polls in favor of Democrats on Election Day.

But with less than four weeks before the Nov. 6 midterm elections, there are signs that Democrats have room for improvement with Hispanic voters.

Latinos are positioned to help decide key races in California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Florida, where Democrats need to notch victories in order to take back the House and Senate. And while female voters on the left are extremely fired up, it’s unclear whether women alone are enough to power a blue wave in November.

“I think there is a chance that Democrats are going to underperform with Hispanics” in November, he said. “The question for the Hispanic vote is: Do they vote on immigration or the economy?”

Scream "RAID!" and hustle them to voter registration booths.  Do I got to think of everything for them?

They're so incredibly stupid I'm surprised they're not rolling out a free Lutefisk feed to the Swedes and Finns up in dairy country.

Hispanics are ready to come our way.  I'm voting for the real hispanic, Ted Cruz!
