Latino vote could be crucial in Ohio

Carla Soto was delivering the latest issue of Ohio’s largest Spanish-language newspaper to a bustling mercado one recent afternoon when a shopper asked a question on the lips of many Latinos ahead of Tuesday’s critical primary.

“What’s being done about crimes against us?” asked Donna Juarez, referring to such incidents as an arson near Columbus that left 10 Hispanics dead in 2004, a spate of robberies targeting Latino workers a year later, and the killing of four Mexican immigrants in December.

Soto, 21, who doubles as La Prensa’s associate editor, answered: “We have to turn out on Tuesday to get their attention.”"*
