Hispanic vote to jump from 12 million to 16 million, will decide presidency

Jorge Ramos, the influential host of Univision's Noticiero Univision, said the Latino vote will decide the 2016 presidential election and that Hispanics could see a reward for providing the margin of victory.

In an interview with Harvard University's Institute of Politics following a speech to students, Ramos predicted that about 16 million Hispanics will go to the polls, likely to vote Democratic based on past trends.

He said that there is a "new rule" in politics — winning the White House can't be done without Hispanics."

And since he believes Latinos will supply the winner with a victory, "for the first time, we could get something in return for our vote," said Ramos.
