A federal judge didn’t approve of the ethnic composition of the Board of Trustees of Port Chester, N.Y., so he ordered a rigged election to ensure the victory of a Hispanic candidate. Such perversion of democracy has become commonplace, but the way the election was rigged was interesting. Each person was allowed to cast six votes, apportioned however he wanted among the candidates; this “cumulative voting” system was “crafted to help boost Hispanic representation,” since Hispanics were basically instructed to vote early and often for Hispanic candidates.

One resident summed up the situation:

Arthur Furano, an 80-year-old lifelong resident of Port Chester, voted Thursday and gave all six of his votes to one candidate.
“That was very strange,” he said. “I’m not sure I liked it. All my life, I’ve heard, ‘one man, one vote.’”

Ha ha ha! One man, one vote? That’s so 20th century.

You could argue that immigration isn’t the root problem here but rather identity politics, and you’d be right. But mass immigration does pour gasoline on identity politics.
