Heavy turnout in Nevada after long push to drive Latino vote

According to the report, early vote numbers from battleground states comprised of large Hispanic populations are voting at a higher rate than they’ve done before.

With Donald Trump known for regularly offending the Latino community, the surge in Hispanic pre-voting could put Ms Clinton in good stead for November 8 Election Day. In Nevada, the line inside of Cardenas Market in Clark County became emblematic of the lengths that voters would go to cast their vote. The length of lines meant that the early voting site did not finally close until 10pm and turnout on Friday set records. Follow the Clinton Campaign all day right here. This is almost double the turnout of 2012, when by this point, six percent of the ballots cast early came from Hispanics.

According to news sources, there is a significant spike in Latino early voting and many more are registered to vote in this election. In 2012, about 70 percent of all votes in the state were cast early.

The AP estimates that early votes could top 50 million.

Still, we should be careful. Compare that to Mitt Romney, who drew 39 percent in 2012. “Everybody must vote, if you don’t vote, you are just striving”, said Feaster. “I would hope that a lot more would come out today because I think Election Day will be extremely busy”, Marisel Hernandez, of the Chicago Board of Elections, told WLS.

If 2012’s turnout of 81% of Nevada’s active registered voters holds in 2016, there could be around 400,000 more votes to be cast. How much of a difference would that make to Clinton’s chances of winning the White House?

Polling locations are non-partisan, and a spokesperson with Clark County said voters who were already in line before the polls closed were still allowed to vote – a common practice at polling locations around the country. In 2010, for instance, most pre-election surveys underestimated how well Democratic Sen. Democrat Catherine Cortez-Masto is battling GOP Rep. Joe Heck for the seat being vacated by the retiring Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid. That could help Clinton. They’re often underrepresented in polls because English-speaking pollsters can have a hard time getting responses from potential voters who speak only Spanish.

“The polls are supposed to close at 7”, McDonald continued. The poll’s error margin is plus-or-minus 3.5 percentage points. Without New Hampshire and its four electoral votes, Clinton falls back below 270 electoral votes on this map. The RealClearPolitics polling average of Florida now puts Clinton ahead there by one point. It’s a near must-win for him, as most swing states are.

Overall, the polls in Florida are tight.

As key states in the Midwest and South show a drop off in black turnout, and with Donald Trump battling to capture working class whites who backed President Barack Obama in 2012, the Clinton campaign pointed to spiking support among three demographic blocs.
