There's a good reason the presidential candidates have been courting Latino voters.

A new report by the "National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials" says the number of registered Latinos has increased by 26% over the last four years.

Right now there are more than 12 million Latinos registered to vote or eight point seven percent of all voters. 

Experts say a potential Latino voter turns 18 years old every 30 seconds in this country.
 
If they turn out at the polls in large numbers, these voters will be highly influential, not only in the race for the White House, but other offices as well.
