All voters were given 6 votes. The latinos are expected to give all 6 based on racial/ethnic lines, while whites would be expected to spread their votes amongst the whole field, giving the latino candidate a leg up....a pretty fair bet.

That seems pretty likely. And, of course its not racist, because they aren’t white/conservative!
