VIDEO: Fiesta Atlanta brings in new Latino voters
Posted May 05, 2008 at 12:21 PM

 

Atlanta celebrated Cinco de Mayo a day early with Fiesta Atlanta in downtown's Centennial Olympic Park. There was a wide range of Latino culture to be consumed, both literally and figuratively, in sights, sounds, goods and food.

 


 

The Young Democrats of Georgia were there registering new voters and getting existing voters to fill out pledges to vote in November. Fulton County, home of Atlanta, has seen a ten-fold increase in Latino voters since 2003, and their number in Georgia is likely to break 100,000 this year, according to the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials.
