Abstract

This research examines the disjuncture between Hispanic strength in population and Hispanic participation in politics. This paper examines the nature of this disjuncture: its severity, its causes, and its consequences. Hispanics currently comprise 11.2% of the U.S. population, but the Hispanic vote in the 1998 elections comprised only 4.7% of all ballots cast.
