With midterm elections almost a month away, a political expert comments on the projected impact of the Latino vote and the efforts to register more voters and train new leaders. He says Latino voter turnout will be higher than in 2010, there will be less participation from independent voters and Latino groups discuss punishment voting against Democrats who have opposed expanding deferred action and are running for the Senate.
