WASHINGTON – The Migration Policy Institute today released
election profiles for Texas and Ohio that
examine voter registration by nativity, providing breakdowns
for foreign-born citizens and the size of their vote during the
2004 general election.
The election profiles also outline the size and growth of the
foreign-born population (citizen and noncitizen) as a share of
each state’s total population, and provide voter breakdowns
by ethnicity.
Election profiles for all 50 states and the District of Columbia
will be available on MPI’s
website later
today.
The election profiles are based on data from the Census Bureau’s
2006 American Community Survey; the Federal Election Commission;
the Migration Policy Institute Data Hub and the Pew Hispanic
Center.
For more state-by-state information on the foreign born, including
income, workforce, education, language, demographic and country
of origin data, please visit the MPI Data Hub at

The Migration Policy Institute is an independent, nonpartisan,
nonprofit think tank in Washington, D.C. dedicated to analysis
of the movement of people worldwide. |
