“Aguirre, a senior at Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, is going to vote in the November general election. She’s 18, and she’s a U.S. citizen - born in Atlanta after her mother traveled to the United States as a young girl from Mexico.

Aguirre, who speaks Spanish as fluently as English, is part of a bicultural generation that within 10 years has the potential to become a powerful voting bloc in North Carolina, according to demographers. For the Nov. 7 general election, however, Aguirre will have little company at the polls as a Hispanic voter.

North Carolina has about 5.5 million registered voters. Less than 30,000, or 0.55 percent, are Hispanic, according to the State Board of Elections.”
