It is no longer small!

The Latino population in NC is roughly one million, nearly 60% natural born, significant percentage naturalized. 8-10% of total population, maybe 8% of voters given a big registration push. Census estimates. (There are sites claiming exaggerated "illegal immigrants" percentages.)

Various polls. Most recent poll just out from WRAL. I posted elsewhere. 8% of poll was Hispanic. Don't know what turnout will look like.

BTW Sanders is polling slightly over 25% among AA.
