Latinos push for political influence - CNN.com: Armed with fresh census data, Latinos around the country are flexing their political muscle. From state legislatures to Congress, the Hispanic vote is getting a voice.
Twelve million Hispanics are expected to vote in next year's elections, according to a survey the National Association of Latino Elected Officials released last week.
These findings come after census numbers show that Hispanics make up 16.3% of the U.S. population and are now the country's largest minority group.
Nevada is one state where their political power is growing, and it's getting an additional seat in Congress.
