Controversy at Las Vegas LULAC Elections

Controversy boiled over at Saturday's League of United Latin American Citizens' (LULAC) national elections, held at Caesar's Palace.
Several members say dirty politics corrupted the voting process.

Almost 2,000 LULAC delegates flew into Las Vegas for the civil rights group's national convention, which concluded Saturday with elections for office positions, including picking a new president.

Domingo Garcia was the main opponent to incumbent Margaret Moran in the presidential run. However, Garcia's eligibility was in question during the convention. Organizers tells Action News a separate election was to held prior to the presidential election, in which two-thirds of voters needed to give Garcia the green light to proceed against Moran. Garcia says, "Allegedly, [LULAC's legal advisory board] issued a legal opinion that I didn't qualify because I hadn't been a member for three years in a row."

Organizers say rules have to be followed, and Garcia should have abided by the three consecutive year membership policy.

LULAC Executive Director Brent Wilkes says, "One of the rules is that you have to be a member in good standing for three consecutive years."

However, Garcia supporters say it's all a front meant to cover up the real issue, which they believe has to do with his opponent and her supporters wanting to play dirty to win the election.

Meanwhile, a group of more than 100 LULAC members from Phoenix say they've become the collateral damage of the political crossfire.

They say they're in good standing with the non-profit, but their voting rights were taken away once they got to the convention. Wilkes says those rights were stripped because their leader didn't pay his dues. However, the Phoenix members say the real reason is more serious than that.

Action News asks, "Ultimately, [do] you think this is a case of dirty politics because you [all] are in support of Domingo Garcia? LULAC-Phoenix representative Paul Castaneda says, "Absolutely. The [opponents] are clearly trying to suppress the vote."

Garcia adds, "Unfortunately, what we're seeing are some political dirty tricks to exclude people from voting, especially young people from Arizona."

Action News tried to talk to Margaret Moran about the allegations, but our crew was denied entry into the elections area.

According to a LULAC member, Garcia was ultimately disqualified from the race on Saturday afternoon due to the issues surrounding his membership status. Moran was re-elected.
