Asian Americans, including Indian Americans came out in large numbers to vote against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, according to a report based on early voting trends.


Early vote analysis by TargetSmart indicate that Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters are responding against 70-year-old Trump and the Republicans by voting in record numbers, AAPI Victory Fund said yesterday.


In Nevada and North Carolina, the per cent of AAPI voters is outpacing Hispanic voters, who are turning out in high numbers, the report said. In Nevada, AAPI early vote is 42.7 per cent of the registered electorate and Hispanic vote is at 39.7 per cent. In North Carolina, AAPI early vote is 37.7 per cent versus 30.2 per cent for Hispanics.


The participation in the state is up 74 per cent in comparison to AAPI voter turnout in 2012, the report said.
