Latino groups pledge to register 1 million new voters
Hispanic groups and Spanish-language media companies announced Thursday an effort to distribute 1 million voter registration cards in seven states with large Hispanic populations.
The groups launched a new website — www.YoVotare.org — which will serve “as a one-stop portal to connect Latinos with various unprecedented efforts to register new voters, provide voter information and education tools, and increase voter turnout in November,” the groups said, in a press release.
The groups involved in the effort include the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, the National Council of La Raza, the Univision television network, and many others.
Political analysts say that Latinos could be a crucial voting bloc in several contested states such as Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Florida.

Local election boards are not checking the US citizenship status of registered voters! Only US citizens are allowed to vote in Congressional and Presidential elections. This situation will lead to illegal voting!
Illegal aliens are already costing local taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars. 1,000 students in a local school district costs local taxpayers, 10,000,000 ($10 Million) every year, $10,000 per student.
The cost of healthcare for the uninsured is bankrupcting US hospitals. Most of the uninsured are illegal aliens and their families.
