and i think a lot of cases like a lot of our minority issues the we had the ten four one verses the fourteen one election here in Dallas a while back and it lost well that was decided by a very small margin um and there were a lot of of minorities that wanted it to go the way that it didn 't go but they also had very low voter turnouts especially like in the Hispanic community and i think in that case they 've just they developed a distrust of the system and so they 've chosen not to participate in it
Hispanics used to participate more during elections .
