Some parts of the press release have nothing to do with the law:

-- Hispanics in Port Chester voted cohesively for their candidates of choice and that these candidates of choice were routinely defeated;

The point being? Is there a law which says "candidates of choice" cannot be defeated?

-- Voting in Port Chester is polarized by ethnicity;

The point being? Is it illegal to vote along ethnic lines? Aren't Hispanics voting for "candidates of choice"?

-- Racial appeals -- in particular an anti-Hispanic flyer in the 2007 mayoral race -- had marred recent political campaigns.

Minority candidates make racial appeals frequently, there is nothing illegal about it. Have the authors of this press release read the First Amendment?

How does the court know this? I thought we had a secret ballot in this country. Oh, so the court must be relying on polls....
