NO ONE HATES JUST MEXICANS:
Asian-American Voter Turnout Doubles in Battleground States : In California, politicians long ago learned the importance of appealing to Asian-American voters. Now the rest of the country will have to figure it out too. (Francie Diep, 11/08/16, Pacific Standard)
In early voting, roughly twice as many Asian Americans have turned out in the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia, compared to the last general election, the Associated Press reported yesterday. Georgia has seen a rise of almost 300 percent in Asian-American votes. Although Asian Americans make up just 3 percent of the voting population -- and tend to register to vote at lower rates than black and white Americans -- that share is expected to grow in the future.
