Hispanic vote could swing elections by 2030

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Hispanic voters will comprise a significant portion of Nebraska's vote by 2030 and could swing an election, regardless of changes to U.S. immigration policy, according to a study released Friday.

Over that time, the number of eligible Hispanic voters in the state will quadruple and could be as much as 15 percent of the actual vote, said Jonathan Benjamin-Alvarado, of the Latino/Latin American Studies department at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

Estimates for elections this November show roughly 40,000 Hispanic voters in Nebraska -- about 3.2 percent of the state vote, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.

Thousands of people in Nebraska were among the millions nationwide who participated in immigration rallies this spring.

Almost two-thirds of Hispanics nationwide believe May's immigration rallies could signal a new and lasting social movement, according to a Pew survey released in July.

2. Looks like his constant anti-immigrant rhetoric may have backfired?

He unknowingly made the Hispanic voting block stronger than ever.
