Hispanic campaign to get voters registered in Oregon

“Oregon Hispanic advocates are joining a national push to produce 1 million new voters across the country between now and the Nov. 6 election in hopes that the contentious immigration issue will mobilize a sector that often doesn’t cast ballots.

It includes a push to get millions of eligible residents to apply for citizenship so they can vote later if not this year.

Aeryca Steinbauer of the Oregon group CAUSA said the hope is that enough new voters can be mobilized “to hold public officials accountable.”"
