New York town defies U.S. on Hispanic voting rights – Port Chester
Tagged: judge, justice department, New YorkPosted on: March 11th, 2007“A dispute over voting rights reminiscent of the U.S. civil rights era has broken out in this New York town, where the federal government has thrust itself into the debate and a judge suspended an election.
The U.S. Justice Department told the village of Port Chester to rewrite its election laws because they have denied Hispanics a seat in the local government, and the all-white board is fighting back.”
