Hispanic Voters Help Obama Seize Key States in 2008
Latino turnout boosted Obama with about three quarters of Nevada Hispanics and nearly 70 percent in New Mexico. In Colorado Hispanics backed him at roughly 60 percent, as Hispanics comprised 13 percent of the electorate. Experts say the Hispanic vote reshaped the map, flipping states Bush won in 2004 to Obama in 2008 due to turnout and party realignment.
