“Only 121 new voters were registered during last week’s historic pro-immigrant march in Phoenix, despite efforts by organizers to translate the massive turnout into stronger Latino electoral clout.
Arizona political stalwart and former state lawmaker Alfredo Gutierrez, an event organizer, said registrars who set up tables at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where the April 10 march started, were overwhelmed by 9:30 a.m. by the size of the crowd. So, registrars removed the tables for safety reasons.
“They were inundated and surrounded” by people, Gutierrez said, referring to the more than 100,000 marchers who converged on downtown Phoenix in support of legalization for millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States. “We frankly were defeated in this effort by our own success.” “
