Frontloading the Primaries: A Silver Lining—Latinos Get a Vote Tova Andrea Wang, The Century Foundation, 4/11/2007 From the Frontloading the Primaries Series: African Americans No Longer Marginalized From the Frontloading the Primaries Series: The Presidential Primary System’s Democracy Problems Read the press release here (PDF). As part of the Frontloading the Primaries issue brief series, Tova Andrea Wang examines one impact of extreme frontloading in the presidential primary races: for the first time, the role of Latinos could be important. The rush by as many as twenty-three states to have their primaries by February 5, 2008, means that areas that have significant Latino populations will be involved in the early results, giving Latinos a greater opportunity than they have ever had to influence the outcomes of the nomination process for both parties. This issue brief is the second in a series on the frontloading of the primaries. Download the PDF document here. Edition: Online    Price: Free Ordering Information: The Century Foundation
