Swing County USA: The Final Push

My five part short documentary series about the growing importance of the Latino vote in Washoe County, Nevada, a swing county, in a swing state has its finale on This is Reno.



As early results elsewhere have given the nomination process a seesaw effect, the upcoming caucuses in Nevada, the first in the west, become ever so more important in determining who will be facing off in the presidential election next fall. Major questions could be answered when Nevadans, and especially Latinos in Washoe County, go to caucus.

Can you caucus in Spanish? Will Donald Trump’s comments about Mexicans hurt him or help him? Will Hillary Clinton’s long-standing outreach efforts with the Latino community pay off? Will endorsements from charismatic but also polarizing Nevada politicians benefit or hinder Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders?
