Much has been said of the Latino vote in this election, which is something I know a little bit about, having been working over it for the last 16 years. Latinos are the fastest-growing , with the largest voter registration cap in America. A Latino youth turns 18 every 30 seconds. While the mode for whites in America is 58, the mode for Latinx is 11 years old. You heard that right. And it's these new voters and the youth who are America for their immigrant families who are leading the charge for change.

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: obsessively
Explanation: The adverb 'obsessively' describes the manner in which the speaker has been working over the Latino vote. It fits grammatically as it modifies the verb 'working' and conveys a strong sense of dedication and intensity in the context of the sentence.

outragious: 'Outragious' is a misspelling of 'outrageous,' which means shocking or extreme, and does not fit the context of describing how one works.
demographic: 'Demographic' is a noun that refers to a statistical data of a population, which does not fit as it does not describe the manner of working.
translating: 'Translating' is a verb that does not relate to the manner of working and does not fit grammatically in this context.
