Ad urging Latinos not to vote angers Democrats

By Stephanie Condon

CBS News--Oct. 19, 2010--The Nevada Democratic Party is lashing out at a conservative Hispanic group over an ad the group is launching that urges Latinos, a critical Democratic voting bloc in the state -- to stay home on Election Day.

The group Latinos for Reform is launching a 60-second ad today in Nevada. The spot urges Latinos to abstain from voting in order to punish Democrats for failing to deliver on immigration reform.

"Don't vote this November. This is the only way to send them a clear message," a narrator says in the ad. "You can no longer take us for granted."

The ad will air in Spanish on Univision, according to Politico. (An English-language version is posted above.) It features, among other Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is in a tight and nasty Nevada Senate race against conservative Republican Sharron Angle.
