In the toss-up Presidential election every voting group counts, few more than Hispanics.
Latinos may comprise as much as 15% of the electorate this fall and have an outsized influence in most of the critical battleground states. In Arizona and Nevada Hispanics may be 20% or more of the vote. However, they may also be at least 5% in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, three closely contested states.
Florida with its heavy Cuban-American vote is solidly Republican; so is Texas, but Hispanics could be crucial in the close Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Colin Allred.
Kamala Harris' challenge is to match or come close to the 65% of the Hispanic vote that Joe Biden won four years ago, She's not there yet.
