26.5 percent of Nevada's population is now Latino, and almost half of the state's growth over the past decade has come from this community. Unlike anywhere else in the country, Latino turnout in Nevada increased in 2010 over that of 2008—the biggest reason Harry Reid is still in the Senate.
Yet at a time when Nevada is becoming browner, and its Latinos more active, its GOP is becoming whiter—a sure-fire recipe for long-term irrelevancy.
