“With Tuesday’s record-setting turnout, California Hispanics for the first time performed as well as any other racial group in a statewide election.

The outpouring was especially strong on the Democratic side, with Hispanics accounting for 30 percent of Tuesday’s presidential primary vote.

Hispanic Democrats nearly doubled their percentage from the 2000 and 2004 primaries. And they matched their percentage among California adults, suggesting the state’s fast-growing Hispanic population is finally being reflected at the polls.”*
