"They didn't "add" 125 Latinos, they just added enough to make it a total of 125 Latinos out of 800."

Incorrect.

The overall poll results are based on the sample of 800, including whatever Latinos were caught in the "random" net.

In addition, they also did a supplementary sample of 125 Latino "likely voters", which were added to the Latinos within the 800 to create a separate sub-sample of Latino voters for separate analysis.

That is a legit polling practice, as it creates a Latino sample large enough to be sliced and diced for analytical purposes.

But the link above says "To allow for analysis, the main sample was supplemented to provide a total of 125 Latino likely voters

So, what am I missing?
