“An estimated 5.6 million Latinos could vote in this year’s midterm elections and help Hispanics make gains in state and federal political office, a nonpartisan Latino group said Tuesday.

The expected Latino votes is an increase from about 4.7 million who turned out in 2002, the last year of elections that didn’t include a presidential contest, according to a study by the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. The association works to increase civic participation by Latinos and raise their numbers in public office.”
