The Tomas Rivera Policy Institute released a report today, “Potential Impact of the Latino Electorate in the 2010 Elections — Small Shifts in Percentage of Latino Voters has Impact in Selected States.” The report uses 2008 Census data to estimate the percent of the Hispanic vote in a number of states that would be necessary to yield a one-percent change in elections in those states. The estimates range from 1.5% in New Mexico to 8.7% in Illinois.
