For clarity, everyone in the city gets six votes, not just the hispanics. Everyone gets one vote, but they are voting with six points with which they can allocate across any of the candidates.

I am sure that the logic is that this will allow some candidates to get votes who would not have otherwise. However, I don’t think that this will really matter. The reason that no hispanic has been elected is because the community has a very large portion of illegal aliens who cannot vote.

Vote coordinator Martha Lopez said that if turnout is higher than in recent years, when it hovered around 25 percent, the election would be a success — regardless of whether a Hispanic was elected.

Apparently the minorities could have elected the whole board if they had bothered to vote before. This is just a way for the judge to encourage the lazy ignorant people who who didn't show up to vote in past elections. Thanks Judge!
