Latino voters could swing election results this November, and the data revealing this are pretty dramatic. The Center for American Progress has a fascinating infographic with [the following commentary](http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2012/07/latino%5Fvoters.html?ref=ivn.us) on Latino voter influence on election results.

"*The infographic below highlights the top 10 states with the highest concentration of potential voters—either eligible but unregistered Latino voters or green card holders that are eligible to become citizens and vote for the first time in November.\* This infographic is the only place in which these two streams of potential voters have been compared side-by-side.*

*In 8 of the 10 states highlighted, the number of potential voters already outnumbers the margin by which either then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) or Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) won the state in 2008, in some cases far exceeding that margin.*"
