This year, a group of reporters worked with The World to follow young, first-time Latino voters throughout the US. Their stories were included in our “Every 30 Seconds” project, based on the fact that about every 30 seconds, a Latino becomes eligible to vote in the US.

KUOW’s Esmy Jimenez has an update.
