According to the Brookings Institution,Latinos will become the nations largest minority by 2045 and the deciding population in future elections. With the help of laws and court case wins,Latinos have been able to receive the help needed to participate in American Politics. According to data provided by The Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey (CMPS),72% of Latinos believe that it is very/somewhat important to get their voice heard by voting. They have traditionally been a key Democratic Party constituency,but more recently have begun to split between the Democratic and Republican Party.
