What about your source? The Almanac of America Politics 2006 shows people of Hispanic Origin” at 13.7%. I mean come on, this is San Diego. Right next to the Southern Border. There’s no way in hell, even intellectually, that Hispanics would only number 2%.
My source is an old interview with Duncan Hunter in the Presidential Election. That is reflected here.

I would still like to see the source for those numbers, doesn’t the info at your link seem a little odd to you, he supposedly gets 70% of the democrat vote and wins by 65%?
“In his district, he consistently gets over 60% of the Hispanic vote and nearly 70% of the Democrat vote. Hunter became chairman of the House Armed Services Committee in 2003. In 2006, Hunter did not face any opponent in the Republican primary. In the November general election, he defeated Navy veteran/minister John Rinaldi, a Democrat, and Michael Benoit, a Libertarian. Hunter was re-elected with 65% of the vote, a 33-point margin over Rinaldi.”
Here is my source for 32% of Hispanic voters in 2004 being Protestant. “Religion appears to be linked to President Bush’s improved showing
among Hispanics in 2004 over 2000, when he took 34 percent of Latino
votes. Hispanic Protestants made up a larger share of the Latino vote last
year (32% in 2004 compared with 25% in 2000), and 56 percent of these
voters supported the president in 2004, compared with 44 percent in 2000.
The president’s share of the Hispanic Catholic vote remained essentially
unchanged between 2000 and 2004.”

Sorry I’ve been working and I mixed up your post with someone else’s, give me a minute and I will get back on track and give you a better answer.
You are right about district 52 being 13.7% Hispanic and I don’t even want to tell you how my 2% mistake came about, it is also my district.
I still would like to see a better source for the “consistent 60% Hispanic vote” though.
