absentee/early vote thread, part 2

[eric82oslo]

Young latino women are turning out in massive numbers in Arizona. It's really astonishing that the latino percentage among the early voters in Arizona has doubled from 6% to 12% in only 4 years! 12% is still a low number of course, so more work will have to be done in order to register, engage an organize the latino population there in the next 4-8 years. Battleground Arizona anyone?

One thing I've been watching carefully in CO early vote: Age. Young CO voters cast ballots late. A lot still to come #copolitics

This is from the invaluable @MagellanStrat breakdown of Colorado early votes

Who knows, if they will vote though. My cousin goes UC Boulder for graduate school and she was a Bernie fan but her and her boyfriend aren't voting this year, because Bernie isn't on the ballot.

Bad hombre and bad mujer.

Is there any possibility that turnout among registered latinos could reach 70% this year? I know it was only 48% last time, but their early vote numbers have more than doubled in many places. I guess 60% is perhaps more likely, but I don't think even 70% would be out of reach at this point.
