The Dallas Morning News has published an article about various campaigns' outreach to Asian American voters in California. An excerpt:
Sunnyvale City Council member Otto Lee, a leader for Mrs. Clinton's outreach campaign, said the main issues for AAPI Democrats are the same as others: economy, education and health care.
"The overall trend is that the younger people are still more excited with Barack Obama. When you talk about the older voter, the idea of knowledge and strength is what matters, and they tend towards Hillary Clinton," he said.
Although the AAPI population is equally divided between the GOP and Democratic Party, Mr. Lee believes that the immigration issue and open-door policy for independents will probably drive record numbers into Democratic voting booths today.
And NDTV.com has an
article about South Asians voting in the primaries. An interesting quote:
For the first time ever in the 2008 US presidential elections residents of the state of New Jersey - which has a large Indian population - will have access to voter registration material in Gujarati.
