It’s too bad. It’s politically suicidal.

“The AP reported voter registration among Latinos has been negligible in the aftermath of the large demonstrations by Latino immigrants and their supporters earlier this year. The AP reviewed voter registration records in several U.S. cities, including Tucson and Phoenix.

While community and church groups, and political parties, have increased their efforts to register Latino voters, Latinos are not responding. Numerous studies, from the U.S. Census Bureau to the Pew Hispanic Center, and anecdotal stories, support the AP’s report.”
