4461073, Primary displays Latinos' influence Emerging bloc helps Clinton win in California and other states

An unprecedented surge by a unified bloc of Latino voters powered Hillary Clinton to victory in the California primary Tuesday, allowing Latinos to shape the trajectory of a presidential race for one of the few times in American history.

Has the large and growing Latino population — whose national political clout rarely reflects its numbers — finally arrived?

"The sleeping giant has awakened. The Latino vote is here," U.S. Rep. Hilda Solis, D-East Los Angeles, told reporters Wednesday. "They really showed their colors here. Well over 71 percent in my district voted for Clinton."

"They are kingmakers," said Al Camarillo, a Stanford history professor. "You saw that decisively for Clinton last night."

"This is really historic, Latino voters coming out in higher proportions than their registration," DiCamillo said of the California result. In the 2004 presidential election, a lower share of Latino adults voted in California than any other ethnic group, Census Bureau data shows.

More proof that the Latinos are coming out to vote, for Clinton.

What other states have a high Latino population.

San Antonio is 60% Hispanic which pretty much represents all of South Texas.
