This confirms some points we made in 2305 earlier today about ethnic disparity in registration and voting.
U.S. Hispanics and Asians are much less likely to be registered to vote
than whites or blacks. Whereas more than eight in 10 blacks and whites
are registered, and therefore able to vote in elections, 60% of Asians
and barely half of Hispanics are currently able to participate in the
electoral process.
The relevance of greater Hispanic and Asian participation in the political process is clear. Both Hispanics and Asians have decidedly Democratic political leanings. Notably, Hispanics and Asians who are registered to vote are even more Democratic than those who are not registered.
