Hispanic Millennials could have some real clout in the upcoming election—if they vote. Latino voters will reach a record number of 27.3 million, and 44% will be Millennials—the highest percentage across all other races or ethnicity. However, voter turnout has historically not been strong for this group: 36.9% of Latinos 18-29-years-old voted in 2012, compared to 41.2% of Millennials overall. Young Latinos, who have significantly impacted social movements like Black Lives Matter, immigration reform, and education reform, are driven to vote based on issues that neither party has successfully spoken to thus far.
