polls have shown that only 7% of Americans of Mexican decent bother to vote in any of the electionsReally.
From the November 4, 2002 Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal: ",Latinos represent 28 percent of the adult population, 17 percent of whom are registered voters and 16 percent of them likely voters."
A bit more than 7% wouldn't you say?
Today, Hispanics represent about 38% of the state's population and their participation is increasing at about the same rate as Moore's Law. That suggests that about 30% of adult Hispanics in California may participate in the upcomming election.
That means about 4.5 million Hispanic voters in October.

You think 95% of registered voters will vote?
I thought like you did, but I read an article that supposedly studied who voted and that 7% number came out of the article.
I think I read it here of FR about 2-4 weeks ago.
Might have also been a poster regarding statistics from the census or other source.
Sorry I can find it right off for you. I'll try and find it though.
