The debate over whether to draw an exclusively Latino district in Nevada has taken a very partisan twist. Some Latino leaders have said an Hispanic specific district would greatly empower the Latino population.

Nevada Public Radio's, Jude Joffe-Block joins us to talk about what state Democrats and Republicans are saying about how the debate will shape up.
