Only 48% of Hispanic eligible voters turned out to vote in 2012, down from 49.9% in 2008.
By comparison, the 2012 voter turnout rate among blacks was 66.6% and among whites was 64.1% (both significantly higher than the turnout rate among Hispanics).
A record 11.2 million Latinos voted in the 2012 presidential election, but Latinos' voter turnout rate continues to lag other groups significantly, according to an analysis of new Census Bureau data by the Pew Research Center.
