Kissimmee Hispanics drop election suit
Noting a "tremendous increase" in Hispanic voter registration, a group of Kissimmee activists on Thursday dropped a federal lawsuit against the city.
The suit alleged that the at-large elections system hindered Hispanic candidates. But Mi Familia Vota, a national Hispanic group, led a campaign that resulted in the addition of thousands of new voters. "Given that now Hispanics make up a plurality of Kissimmee voters, the remedy no longer lies in the hands of the law, but is not in the hands of the voters," said attorney Darren Soto.
