Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla, is running for a third two-year term against challenger Extreamist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden,
Didden joined the village board in June in the landmark election for all six Port Chester trustee seats.
This was the first election held under the cumulative voting voting system that Bart "The Bigot" Didden's racist flier created.
The Department of Justice had to prove THREE POINTS points to win the voting rights case in Port Chester.
The United States Department Of Justice argued that Port Chester's existing at-large system violated the Voting Rights Act, which protects minorities' constitutional right to equal protection under the law.
- DOJ Lawyers found that the population of 28,000 was about half Hispanic, they argued that the system prevented Hispanics from getting a representative on the six-trustee board. This proved the FIRST POINT that the DOJ needed to win the voting rights case against Port Chester.
- The Justice Department also found that no Hispanic had ever been elected trustee or mayor in the village. This proved the SECOND POINT that the DOJ needed to win the voting rights case against Port Chester.
- But the DOJ lawyers had a problem. They still had to find that there had been a racial appeal in a Port Chester election in order to make the third point that they needed to win the voting rights case. The DOJ just could not find any evidence a racial appeal was ever made in a Port Chester election. Despite at looking at over a decade of campaign literature the DOJ just could not find ONE piece of paper that ever showed that there had been a racial appeal in an election in Port Chester.
- Then Bart "The Bigot" Didden made that TWO page racist flier that attacking Blanca Lopez and Port Chester's Hispanics. This proved the THIRD POINT that the DOJ needed to win the voting rights case against Port Chester.
Judge Robinson's also found that during the 2007 mayoral election, a blatant racial appeal was made to voters — in the form of an anonymous flier distributed to 1,000 homes — disparaging of Hispanics and crudely complaining of their influence. The one factor that had to be considered in voting rights cases.
The DOJ had to show that a Port Chester political campaign included overt or subtle racial appeals and Bart "The Bigot" Didden delivered them a two page racist flier.
Soon it was subsequently learned that the two page flier was written by Bart Didden, who is now a candidate for mayor.
Yes it is true, Bart "The Bigot" Didden's racist two page flyer gave the Department of Justice the missing piece of the voting rights case puzzle.
Now Bart "The Bigot" Didden wants to spend another $225,000 in taxpayer money — on top of the $1.2 million spent so far — to continue a community-dividing legal fight he helped create with his racist flyer.
