Hispanic, Latino political scholars discuss election

March 28, 2016
By Clark News and Media Relations

The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs hosted a discussion Tuesday titled ‘The 2016 Presidential Election and the Hispanic Vote’ on the growing importance of Hispanics and Latinos in U.S. politics. … The Latino population has often been considered a “sleeping giant,” said Heather Silber Mohamed, assistant professor of political science at Clark University. The voter turnout of registered Latino voters has always been consistently lower than non-Hispanic white and black voters, she noted. In 2008, the turnout for Latino, non-Hispanic white and black voters was 50, 66 and 65 percent respectively, according to a Brookings Institution chart featured in her presentation.
