I’m not sure about that to tell you the truth....the stats I believe say otherwise but feel free to prove me wrong....I would like that.
You're right, wardaddy.
Big Hispanic Vote Expected in New Mexico
From the article: "As the fiesta makes clear, "New Mexico is different from other states," Wertheimer says. "More than 42 percent of the state's population is Hispanic... Hispanics are embedded in the state's power structure. They represent more than a third of the vote in each of New Mexico's congressional districts -- almost all registered Democrats"
I grew up there and we would have hispanic (d) vs hispanic (r)
very often. My professor at UNM, noted it as well, when I called him on it.
F. Chris Garcia told me, “I must admit, New Mexico is a strange place.” He basically said that, the Spanish who came to New Mexico stayed. They have been here longer than than most, besides the Indians. They have built strong traditions and ties to the state.
Just from what I know and grew up with. things may have changed, but not that much.
