Hispanic voter drive falls short of one million (way, way short)
Tagged: protest“After huge immigration protests earlier this year, advocates vowed to capitalize on the energy and register 1 million new foreign-born voters, mostly Hispanics.
But rhetoric has run headlong into reality: Organizers say that, as of last week, they had signed up fewer than 150,000 people.
Advocates’ experiences show that cultivating new voters is tough, plodding work, and that developing Latino power will rely not on street protests but on the group becoming more politically engaged as it gets older.”
