While the Republican candidates battle over who can take a harder line on immigration, Univision, the country's number one Spanish language network, has launched an all-out effort to register new Hispanic voters.
Eleven million Latino voters went to the polls in the last presidential election. According to the New York Times, that's about half the number who were eligible. Now, Univision is determined to sign up three million of those could-be voters - that's equal to the number of how many new Latino voters have come of age since 2012.
The Univision campaign will include:
A deluge of ads encouraging viewers to get registered on all of its 126 local television and radio stations and on its sports channel, Univision Deportes.
Station managers are planning to record public service announcements about how and where to sign up.
The news division will issue an online voter guide which will be updated throughout the campaign season.
Town hall meetings and telephone banks will be held to answer questions, dispel rumors and address concerns, of new voters, many of whom are not only casting their first ballot, but the are first in their families to be able to vote.
This summer, Univision plans to hold voter drives near the stadiums hosting the Copa América soccer tournament. They will also air public-service announcements during its broadcasts of those matches to millions of viewers.
"The rule is no one can make it to the White House without the Hispanic vote,” said Jorge Ramos, the network’s superstar news host. “That’s why Latino registration is incredibly important. Just a few votes in Nevada, Florida and Colorado could make or break any candidate.”
The Univision voter drive will attempt to simplify the voting process, "with no basic knowledge assumed."
“When most Latinos become voters, they’re likely to be the first in their families,” said Clarissa Martínez-de-Castro, deputy vice president of the National Council of La Raza. “Things that seem simple, like where do I register, what do I need to know, what do I need? It’s a pretty big task.”

later this year I'm so hoping to hoist a couple drinks to the GOP's and The Donald's many inadvertent but real contributions to our victories. 
In speaking of Hispanic conservatives I'm just thinking ahead. That they really are conservatives, some of whom would rather be voting for Trump if it were only possible, is just a reality that will make itself strongly felt someday. That's a personality type before political orientation, and they may shift away from enemies but that does not make them liberals. Plus, religion tends to move a lot more farther right than they would be without it.
Hopefully, some day, almost all liberals will be united in the Democratic Party, and as many conservatives as possible. But those who feel like throwing up at the thought can join the New Republican Rainbow Party. Whatever that turns out to be! We know how well strong conservatives, especially social conservatives, get along with those who are "different," and that includes dissension between all groups. We may just have an extra party or two for those who would rather walk than shake.
