Miranda said he flew down from the nonprofit organization’s headquarters in New York to visit their office in Central Florida.

He said when you compare that number to the 1.2 million Latinos total that voted in the 2016 general election, you can see the enthusiasm among Latino voters. He said many of the Latino early voters, about 400,000, were first-time voters.
