From 1996 to 2016, the number of Latinos voting in U.S. General Elections has jumped from 4.9 million to an estimated 13.1 million. Dr. Gary Segura has been studying this phenomenon and has now co-written a book, “Latino America” How America’s Most Dynamic Population is Poised to Transform the Politics of the Nation.” Dr. Segura explains how this trend has affected the American political landscape. He points out that this will continue far into the future, as the Latino vote doubles in the next 20 years. He says this will happen “even if not one additional Latino immigrant comes to the United States.”
