Group Working To Register Young Migrant Voters Uneasy About Lack Of Election Results

One of the groups that’s been working to register new voters here in Arizona heading up to Tuesday's election is Aliento. 

Aliento was founded by Dreamer and DACA recipient Reyna Montoya, and they have been working to register young Latinx and immigrant voters in Arizona — often with help from volunteers who can’t vote themselves because they are undocumented.

The Show spoke with Montoya on Wednesday and asked her if she felt like election night was a victory for her organization.
