Every election year Americans get chopped into pieces and clumped into voting blocks -Black voters, college educated voters, soccer moms and Nascar dads to name a few. There seems to be some truth to voting blocks; we are likely to share the share the same concerns as others who look like you, speak the same language, live near you and are in the same socioeconomic group.

But according to today's guest, that is only surface deep.

5 Things Sunday host James Brown sat down with USA TODAY White House reporter, Rebecca Morin to look at one of those supposed blocks - Latinos - and who they did and didn't vote for.

Morin said what's important to Latinos varies across the nation, depending on where they live.

For more on Rebecca's reporting on the Latino vote, read:

Republicans made inroads with South Texas Latinos since last election. Now they're hoping for a red wave

Venezuelans are a growing Latino group in the US. Can they recreate the Cuban American voter playbook?

Democrats hoped Latinos would turn GOP states 'purple.' That may not be the case anymore.
