While we all probably have opinions on the outcomes of the 2012 elections, one data point has clearly caught the attention of the media. The Latino vote mattered and it will have an even bigger impact in the future. As this is an area of personal interest, I was trying to decipher how and where the Latino vote made a big difference. I found this data visualization that gives a good overview on how Latinos had an impact on the presidential election and some specific ballot measures in some key states. http://www.latinovote2012.com/app/


It will be interesting to see how the parties use the information to inform their decsions as they move forward. More importantly, it will be interesting to see how Latinos use this information to further flex their power.
