Default Latinos Sue To Change American Electoral Process

http://www.sacbee.com/2010/12/19/326...o-empower.html

A few Latinos in Compton are suing the city to demand changes in the electoral process. They want the at large system changed so they can vote in...a latino. Somehow, they think that they should be represented by their race, and cannot be represented effectively by other races

Compton's population has changed in recent decades from a majority African-American to two-thirds Hispanic. The city has never had a Latino council member.
So should I even ask how many of these latinos that make of the 2/3 population are legally present? My guess is, if you filtered for the legally present, you might see the latino population dwindle down to 1/3
