From the AP:
Sensing opportunity, the Democratic Party of Georgia - which has been looking to rebuild
after losing every statewide office last year - is making an aggressive push to register
new Hispanic voters, showing up at Latino festivals with stacks of registration forms
and using the GOP-authored law as a rallying cry to draw Latinos into the fold....
Louis DeSipio, a political science professor at the University of California at Irvine
who specializes in Hispanic politics, said the passage of an anti-immigration measure
in California boosted Hispanic voter participation and the same could hold true in
Georgia. He added that Hispanics also tend to vote Democratic.
