Battleground '04

Article Abstract:

Hispanics who form the fastest growing sector of the electorate in the U.S. could tip the balance in the 2004 Presidential Elections if President George Bush does not improve on the 35 percent of Hispanic votes he received in 2000 and does not manage to turn out votes in the five battleground states of Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico. Though the Hispanic vote is too complex to predict a study shows that the Hispanic community is unhappy that President Bush has not made Latin America a top priority and has also failed to move forward with the legalization of undocumented immigrants.
