KYVE Insiders Roundtable/Hispanic Voting Rights
- KYVE 47 Insiders Roundtable
Hispanic Voting Rights
We discuss Hispanic voting rights, and how recent legislation in Olympia may force Yakima to change the way it elects its city council representatives.
About the Episode
Despite the fact that Hispanics represent 41% of Yakima's population, the city has never elected a Latino to city council. But is the way representatives are elected here to blame? We discuss recent legislation in Olympia, which may force Yakima to change the way it elects its representatives.
