Latino/Hispanic generally refers to those of Central/South American ancestry.
I believe Latino refers to Central/South American ancestry and Hispanic refers to European Spanish. So, either way, both of those typically Spanish-speaking cultures are lumped together in the "Latino/Hispanic" identifier.
For Puerto Rico, roughly 5 Representatives, 2 Senators, and 7 Electoral College votes, because its population is roughly that of Connecticut.
More problematically, other states would (under current law) necessarily lose Representatives and EC votes as a direct result, due to the fixed number of 435 Representatives.

Yeah. Grandfather is 100% Spanish, and those cultural lines run really deep for most people in my family.
I'm also quite white in terms of pigmentation, which has caused me NO end of issues explaining my ethnicity to nosy/ignorant people.
Not that surprising, especially if your Colombian side is of mostly (or entirely) European Spanish ancestry. My pigmentation is also fairly white, but I often get mistaken as Latin American by other Latin Americans as, due to my looks (dark hair and eyes and slight olive tint to skin, though still quite white) and my name, they probably often assume I'm a Latin American of mostly European ancestry.

It gets more complicated than that, though, as Hispania was the ancient Roman name of what we now call the Iberian Peninsula and composed both of modern day Spain and Portugal, though the Portuguese often prefer to use the terms Lusitania and Lusitanic (or Luso for short) to refer to themselves in specific terms, as that was the ancient Roman name for their little corner of Hispania.
Plus, as I said, there are different legal definitions depending on who you ask. The US Office of Management and Budget basically uses the "if your culture speaks Spanish, no matter your race, you're Hispanic/Latino." The US Department of Transportation, Small Business Administration, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Conference, and Hispanic Society of America includes Portuguese-derived ethnicities, including Portugal itself, in the definition. The Department of Labor and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission basically go by "if someone thinks he/she is Hispanic/Latino, then they are Hispanic/Latino."
I'm not sure how they got that Warran vs Brown was the most expensive Senatorial campaign. I read figures of over 77 million that Linda McMahon spend on just her own side of the campaign here in CT.
But that was mid-campaign, I guess, and may have included her previous campaign. The new figure is 100+ million.
States shaded in grey had no geocoded hate tweets within our database. Many of these states (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and South Dakota) have relatively low levels of Twitter use as well. Rhode Island has much higher numbers of geocoded tweets but had no hate tweets that we could identify.

Hmm, apparently I'd be considered Hispanic in Florida too...
Con: Umm, you have representation in Congress?
