Internal DNC Document Shows 2014 Latino Turnout Was Worst Of Last Three Cycles
The document also outlines Hispanic turnout compared to all Americans in the 36 states. In 2010, 47.7% of the population of those states voted, compared to 33.4% of Latinos. In the presidential year of 2012, 64.9% of Americans in those states voted and 53.7% of Hispanics. But in 2014, where 42.3% voted overall in the states, down from 2010, Latino voting plunged, with only 25.6% turning out to vote.
The DNC did not respond to a request for comment before publication.
Matt Barreto, of polling firm Latino Decisions, presented data Friday to the DNC Hispanic caucus on areas where Democrats could improve with Latinos. He told BuzzFeed News the statistics from the party on Hispanic turnout squares with what he has found looking at 2014 data.
Latino Decisions found that only 33% of Latino voters think the Democratic party “truly cares†about the community and only 12% feel the same way about Republicans.

So, the majority of them think neither party has a commitment to them beyond its own immediate advantage. They're smarter than people want to give them credit for.

Bingo.
Most come here for economic reasons...JOBS. With Obama wrecking the economy and jobs disappearing what have they to gain by voting democrat?
Methinks Latinos will not settle for the crumbs that seem to satisfy inner city blacks. That means the democrats will have to spend MORE to buy votes. and when the inner city loyalists see newcomers getting more than they do...what do ya think will happen?
