Judge Stephen Robinson Discards "One Man, One Vote" to Empower Illegal Aliens
U.S. District Judge Stephen Robinson has discarded the concept of "one man, one vote" in Port Chester, New York. According to Robinson, counting votes equally "prevents Hispanic voters from participating equally in the political process in the Village." This is because many of the Hispanics in Port Chester don't vote, since they are not American citizens but rather illegal aliens.
One proposed "remedy" is to gerrymander the town into districts:
Among other arguments, lawyers for the village said that splitting the village into districts by population would weaken the individual votes of people who lived in areas with larger proportions of registered voters. Districts that included many residents who were not citizens or registered to vote would have a much smaller number of actual voters in their overall population — hence each individual voter in that district would carry more weight in choosing his or her local trustee, they said.
Of course. The whole point is to de-emphasize the votes of people who are in the country legally. The technical term for this is "moonbattery."
On a tip from Wiggins.

Someone should investigate if this Judge uses illegal housekeepers and/or if his personal investments are in businesses that employ illegal labor.

This is very fascinating...
"Cumulative voting - which promotes proportional representation - would allow each voter one vote per candidate. The voter would then have three options: giving one vote to each candidate, giving all of the votes for one candidate, or dividing the votes among the candidates."
Why do Leftists complain that their opponents are trying to destroy democracy when they are absolutely unapologetic in such undemocratic pursuits?
Just as a side note... Would you consider hiring a moonbat bookkeeper if they used tactics like this? Its worse for a US District Judge, but some people dont feel that the abuse of judicial power is as bad as financial crimes.
The point is that many of these people see political gain in the abuse of the justice system, but unless someone directly benefits, financial corruption is universally condemned. I just hope that point strikes home.
