The National Journal's Alex Roarty wrote Wednesday it was "surprising" that most House Republicans voted to reverse Obama's order halting deportations of many undocumented young people who were brought to the U.S. by their parents.
He pointed specifically to "House members like Reps. Mike Coffman of Colorado" whose district represents a "large Hispanic" constituency.
Roarty should have specified just how large Coffman's Hispanic constituency is in his new district.
The Denver Post's Kurtis Lee reported in 2011 that when Coffman's district was re-drawn, the Hispanic population increased "from around 9 percent to about 20 percent."
This gives you a more precise sense of the stakes involved as Coffman continues to take positions, long-held by the Congressman, that are considered hostile to Hispanics.
You'd expect the Hispanic voting population in Coffman's district to be less, but still.
