California Judge Deals Temporary Blow to Latino Plaintiffs
California Judge Deals Temporary Blow to Latino Plaintiffs on Voting Rights Case
By Elizabeth Llorente
Published January 19, 2011
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge rejected the request of Latino residents to delay municipal elections in the city of Compton until it is decided whether elections make it impossible for a Latino to win, according to a story in Wednesday’s Los Angeles Times.
The judge, Ann I. Jones, said the plaintiffs had failed to present enough evidence to justify delaying the elections. Jones added that she expected to issue a more definitive decision within a week, the newspaper reported.
Three Latina residents of the city, where Latinos now make up the majority, argue that Compton's at-large elections to choose a representative for its four districts dilutes the voting power of Hispanics.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs showed data from academic and demographics experts that indicated that the residents of Compton – which is largely Hispanic and African-American – tend to vote along ethnic and racial lines.
The data showed that Latino voters usually vote for Latino candidates, while African-American voters rarely support them.
The suit maintains that Latinos – who never have had a Latino representative elected to the City Council or any other city post – could win election in districts with large numbers of registered Latino voters, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But Compton city attorneys argued that voters would have to agree to change the municipality’s charter, which calls for at-large elections, which the plaintiffs say puts Latinos at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the city attorneys said, even if the voting were held by district, instead of at-large, the outcome would not have changed, the newspaper reported.

Typical response from the latino community. If they don't get their way 100% then they cry foul and say they are being discriminated.

The so-called Latino leaders have been flexing demographic hegemony muscles for years, trying to pull the wool over eye using numbers that include illegal immigrants. Illegals are not allowed to vote bc they are NOT citizens!

Just hire some off duty BP and ICE agents to sit outside the major hotspots for illegal latino voters. I bet the polls would swing the other way quickly when they go running off thinking they were there for them. Doing such *should* be perfectly legal as it wouldn't interfere with legal voters at all.

Well the president was set here in NY. A judge ruled that one voter could cast six votes for one candidate instead of having to spread them around.
This judge basically changed the rules of voting that have been in effect forever.

Well. the race is on.......
Take a look at how multiculturism works at the lower level.
Race is becoming the legal way of electing someone.
What the person stands for is no longer important or relevant.
I vision, that in time, this country will be so racially divided, that each
race will have it's own Government. That is,..if it ever gets that far.
As we already know,and it's a proven fact, that Multiculturism does nothing
but divide countries and the people in them.
If you read the City of LA's website, you'll see that multiculturism is the Mayor's (Antonio Villaraigosa) main objective.------------------------
