Why are so many Hispanics allowed to vote in the presidential election?

I find it very hard to believe all the Hispanics who voted are actually American Citizens, a requirement to vote in the election. It takes a long time to obtain American citizenship and it just does not make a lot of sense to me that for 2 voting sessions Obama has carried that ethnic group. Any ideas, suggestions, comments.

    well I guess u forgot about the asians, blacks and other ethnic groups besides hispanics which are american citizens as well. Besides the racial issues also count gays, 55% of american women and also college students and whites who are middle class and poor, people with small business and dont rule out disabled people that were against medicare funds getting reduced...all for obama. So as u can see not only hispanics made it right...its all of the above.

    A lot of them are Puerto Ricans who are citizens at birth. And the others are either ones who were born in the U.S. or who went through the citizenship naturalization. It doesn't take that long to get naturalized.

    Obama won, try again.
