A Interesting Way to Get Votes (Maybe)

According to the New York Times, the government announced today a new nationwide campaign to make it easier for legal immigrants to become American citizens..... "which could add millions of voters to the electorate in time for the presidential election next year." The NYT also noted that "federal figures show... that about 60 percent of immigrants eligible to naturalize are Latino and about 20 percent are Asian, both groups that voted overwhelmingly for President Obama." However, the article failed to predict how many "new citizens" might actually register and show up at the polls on Election Day.
