As the U.S. elections get closer by the day, the importance the Latino electorate will have at the time of tipping the scale is increasingly taking centerstage in the political conversation.
An estimated 17.5 million Latino voters expected to cast a ballot, 11.5% of the entire American electorate, according to a report by the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO). Overall, more than 36.2 million Latinos are expected to be eligible to vote this year.
