Although a majority of the group has traditionally supported Democrats, some Latino voters say they now find more common ground with Republican principles, challenging the notion of a monolithic voting bloc.

But residents such as Saucedo feel the Democratic Party has done little more than paid lip service to Latino voters for years.
