The Tancredo Effect:
For the first time, the number of Hispanic Democrats in the state is expected to exceed the number of Hispanic Republicans.
The Florida secretary of state is expected to release the month's voter registration figures to the state Democratic and Republican parties. The last set of figures, released in April, showed a bare majority of 212 Republicans over Democrats among the state's roughly 1.2 million voters who describe themselves as Hispanic on their official voter registration forms. In each month since the state started tracking Hispanic registration more than two years ago, Democrats have gained.

The people immigrating to our Country love and respect Hillary. They believe she can accomplish a great deal of good for our Country. They are very loyal to America because of our stand on Human Rights.
My friends, as I have written many times to the DNC, that excluding the Florida voters from the Democratic Primary is denying their fundamental constitutional rights as US citizens. Party bylaws and procedures do not supersede those rights. Doing this for expediency in order to prop up an otherwise weak and inexperienced candidate for unknown and unstated reasons will be devastating to this Party and its chances in November. It will not matter what gains we have made over the years in the state. I have been a loyal Democrat since 1986 through thick and thin. But I cannot support any result without ALL of the Florida (and Michigan) votes counted or primaries redone.
