There was at story on TV, I think Fox, about the US Gov't DOJ doing this in some town in New York where Hispanics couldn't get elected to either the city council or school board. I forget which. The litigation almost bankrupted he town and they finally caved. They came up with some goof ball deal whereby everybody got as many votes as candidates (i.e. six candidates, six votes) but the Hispanics could cast all of their six votes for the Hispanic candidate and not vote for the others.

This is a "remedial' measure for "past" injustice. Got that? People who came here yesterday are entitled to have rigged elections for "injustices" that happened before any of us were born. Sickening.

That was Port Chester, Westchester County. Here's the story.

They didn't cave voluntarily, they were ordered by the Justice Department.

I believe this is the racial scheme I referred to, and that it's been played far more than just once.
