Hmm, let's evaluate your comments on this recent post.
Are you making the assertion that the recent map chosen for pre-clearance is biased based upon ethnic composition? ... OR ... Are you making the assertion that the recent map chosen for pre-clearance is biased based upon political ideology composition?
I wish folks like you and the Hillsborough County Hispanic Democratic Caucus would get your message straight!
How about this...Democrats should put up candidates that best represent their core beliefs just as the Republicans do. Then in the general election, it is up to the people to decide which candidate should best represent them...that is our process you know!
Furthermore, Democrats have 60,000+ more registered voters in Hillsborough County...So, why isn't there a super majority of Democrats on the Commission?
