Thank him for his service for me. The so-called “forgotten war” isn’t by many Americans and most Koreans of a certain age.

Its not illegal, everyone got the same number of votes so it fits under equal protection. Its a little strange, because instead of having six different races, all the candidates are in 1 pool and the top 6 vote getters are elected. Some school boards do this as well.

The racial aspect is that no Hispanics were voted in, because they split the votes. So instead, now anyone can vote for the same person with their six votes (like a raffle). The judge is betting that all Hispanics will vote for a Hispanic last name 6 times, assuring them a spot. Its not diferent than gerrymandering a district so that only 1 race will win there.

Untoward, but not illegal.
