Latino Voters Turning Out Strong in Spite of Facing Challenges With the
Registration Process
LOS ANGELES -- The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed
Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund reported that over 5,500 voters had been
provided with assistance in seeking their polling place or with reporting
challenges in trying to cast their votes.
The biggest challenge to new voters in this election seems to be the
administrative process of their names making it onto voter rolls after
registering and the way poll workers handle these situations. Other voter
protection calls being addressed today by attorneys include:
-- Florida - Democratic candidates names not appearing on ballots.
-- California - voters being asked their origin of birth.
-- Arizona - Latino voters having to vote at a table in an open space with
no privacy.
-- Virginia - long lines resulting in voters being told they have a time
limit to vote.
