The National Council of La Raza and Mi Familia Vota Education Fund
launched a major voter registration drive yesterday, with the aim of registering a quarter million new Latino voters before the midterm elections. It’s good that they are starting early because you want to make sure there is time to get everyone on the voter rolls before any cut-off. Plus, the other side never sleeps.
The Republicans have to hope that the Latino turnout effort is a disappointment, because they’ve avoided the full consequences of their anti-Latino rhetoric up to now because of low voter participation rates in the Latino community. The faster that changes, the faster the modern GOP will meet its demise.
