"Jacqueline Angel, a public affairs and sociology professor, said the Latino vote was a critical voting bloc for this year’s election. She said she was not surprised that so many Latino voters chose Republican candidates given the diversity of the community.

"'Hispanic or Latino' is defined as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race, according to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.

"'The Latino population is far more heterogeneous in terms of their political philosophy than what is known by others,' Angel said. 'Many (Latinos) feel that the progressive agenda, they don't share some of those positions and those values.'"
