The secretary of state’s office counts more than 60,000 Hispanic voters in the state right now. It’s just 1.3 percent of the state’s active registered voters. But that’s more than double the 0.6 percent share of just four years ago. And voting rights groups keep registering more, in key counties.
“As of July 1, 2008, there are 12,219 Latino registered voters in Gwinnett County,” said Jerry Gonzalez of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials.”*
