In Arizona, civic campaigns are once again trying to wake up the sleeping giant of the Latino vote. This time, activists say that more than 400,000 voters could participate in the November elections. If so, the Latino vote could be decisive in the presidential election and could help convert this restrictionist stronghold in a competitive swing state.

According to data from the Pew Research Center, almost half of the more than 27 million Latinos eligible to vote this November are from the so-called millenial generation. In California, one of every three Latinos is a young adult under 30. If they were to come out to vote in big numbers, they could decide important races.
