<<So what. The most common given name in the USA is Jose. Jose's with money will typically be republicans. Jose's without money will typically be democrats. Jose's will be voting in 4 to 12 years, unlike some minorities hispanic americans vote. Most will be democrats and most will be mad to find out that voting has been apparently riged against democrats (at least if you take Florida as an example). Most will be angry that the uncounted votes were almost all minority votes. Doesn't matter how you make districts. >> Around 80% of Cuban-American Hispanics are Republicans in Florida. In New Mexico the state is very near 50-50 Republican / Democrat with the state around 70% Hispanic. Last I saw,Texas is around 40% Hispanic, with the state near 60% registered Democrat, but the difference is in Texas less people vote the straight party line than in most other states. To be sure, GWB was elected & reelected Gov. of Texas by Democrats as well as Republicans.
