But we have to find a way to fix the turnout problem, particularly among Latinos, who are now the largest ethnic group in Texas, though they're also relatively quite young, on average.

They could be a very formidable political force if we could get participation up. That is, of course, why the GOP does everything they can to keep them from voting.
