Latino voters are expected to play a pivotal role in the U.S. presidential election, especially in several key battleground states. Join us for a town hall event that brings together journalists, pollsters, and policy experts to explore the complex relationship between the Latino electorate and the candidates. Will economic concerns such as unemployment and housing foreclosures guide Latinos at the voting booth? Will the candidates' immigration policies dominate? Or will large numbers of Latinos simply sit out this election?
Panelists explored the political cross-currents buffeting Latinos, providing insight on the probable outcome of the election, as well as political and policy implications over the next four years.
The event will form a segment on National Public Radio’s “Latino USA” program to be broadcast at a later date.
