According to Rep. Mike Honda, the Asian American and Pacific Islander vote will determine the presidential election. Because of President Barack Obama’s Hawaiian upbringing, he can be considered our first Asian-American president instead of only our first African American president. Obama will likely have the Nevadan Asian population vote because of that. Nevadan AAPI’s can give Obama a 9,000 vote margin of victory over Gov. Mitt Romney in the state said Rep. Mike Honda.
