Port chester, New York, just 25 miles from NYC with a population of about 50% Hispanic has violated the Voting Rights act of Hispanics.
A U.S. judge ruled Port Chester's election system denies equal participation for Hispanics in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the landmark law associated with the civil rights movement of the 1960s. "The at-large election system for electing members of the board of trustees prevents Hispanic voters from participating equally in the political process in the village," Judge Robinson wrote in the 56-page ruling. Robinson ordered the Justice Department and the village to submit proposed solutions.
If this doesn't make you go out there and VOTE, nothing will.
