For example, last May, Florida put new restrictions on third-party voter registration, making it difficult for any non-profit third party to register voters without facing a hefty penalty for a minor error. Because of the Florida law, many of the organizations and individuals that once traveled into predominantly lower-income African American and Latino neighborhoods to register voters are no longer able to. http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0468 Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500 http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0470 Last week I was part of a very dynamic Twitter party around the Latino vote. Ran by the Latism organization under the #liberatuvoz ("free your voice") hashtag. The event was part of an initiative to increase Latinos' participation in the upcoming presidential election. The media has been extensively covering the importance that Latinos will play in deciding the next election. Organizations like Latism and the Ya Es Hora ("it's about time") coalition are helping empower Latinos to play a more active role and vote. Latinos might play a critical role in choosing the new American president, but in order for that to happen, there's still a long way to go to increase civic engagement and participation. http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0470 Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500 http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0469 To mark today’s Republican primaries, the Hispanic Leadership Network released “Top 10 Facts about Hispanics in Indiana, North Carolina, and West Virginia.” http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0469 Wed, 02 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500 http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0467 When it comes to winning US presidential elections, Florida is traditionally a crucial swing state. The 2012 contest is shaping up to be no different. The key to winning the state is the Hispanic vote, and both president Barack Obama and the Republicans are focusing a lot of time and money on wooing Latinos. http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0467 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0500 http://veyvota.yaeshora.info/news?id=0465 As an undocumented immigrant, Queen Creek resident Erick Garcia can’t vote.
