Approximately every 30 seconds, a United States citizen of Latin American descent, reaches the voting age of 18. This year, 32 million Latinos are projected to be eligible to vote. Latinos are one of the largest demographic groups in the US. We鈥檒l learn about the history of the 鈥楲atino vote鈥� in the US, we鈥檒l meet young Latino voters, and we鈥檒l look into how both major US political parties are trying to gain young Latino support in the lead-up to the election.
