Hall County leads all Georgia counties in the growth of new Latino voters and in the decline of Latino voter participation rates, according to a study released Tuesday by the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. The report found nearly 184,000 Hispanic voters in the state, which is about 3 percent of the state’s electorate and a growth of 26 percent since GALEO’s 2008 study. Hall has the fifth-largest number of registered Latino voters in the state at 7,095, with Gainesville accounting for about 1,583, according to the report.
