How Big is the U.S Latino Population? Depends on Who You Count.

10:54 H | Topics: Politics - US Presidential Race 2008

So just how big is this U.S. Latino population that politicians keep talking about? The official number is usually reported is around 45 million. Except, as the National Institute for Latino Policy points out, this excludes about 4 million Latinos, Latinos who are U.S. citizens living in Puerto Rico and the other U.S. territories.

So while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama kissed Rican ass during primary season, because of the fact that Ricans cannot vote in the regular presidential elections, they are not even counted as part of the U.S. Latino electorate.
