Judge Stephen Robinson Discards 'One Man, One Vote' to Empower Illegal Aliens
U.S. District Judge Stephen Robinson has discarded the concept of "one man, one vote" in Port Chester, New York. According to Robinson, counting votes equally "prevents Hispanic voters from participating equally in the political process in the Village." This is because many of the Hispanics in Port Chester don't vote, since they are not American citizens but rather illegal aliens.
One proposed "remedy" is to gerrymander the town into districts:
Among other arguments, lawyers for the village said that splitting the village into districts by population would weaken the individual votes of people who lived in areas with larger proportions of registered voters. Districts that included many residents who were not citizens or registered to vote would have a much smaller number of actual voters in their overall population — hence each individual voter in that district would carry more weight in choosing his or her local trustee, they said.
Of course. The whole point is to de-emphasize the votes of people who are in the country legally. The technical term for this is "moonbattery."
On a tip from Wiggins.
