The Republican party is pretty well doomed if doesn't do more to embrace Hispanic voters, according to a new web tool released by the Mark Zuckerberg-backed advocacy group Fwd.us, which pushes for immigration reform. The tool aggregates both population and voter data to show how an influx of Latino and Asian American voters will sway elections in the future, potentially costing the GOP future victories if it fails to soften its stance on immigration issues.

Fwd.us also created a new web app, 2016 Candidate Tracker, that monitors and organizes everything that both Democratic and Republican candidates say about immigration.
