Make no mistake — Latino redistricting advocates are still ticked off.
“It’s really mystifying. How can you say that one plan is
unconstitutional and then go ahead and say, well, you’ve got to go on
the 2001 plan, which is really unconstitutional?” says Angel Ortiz, the
former Philadelphia city councilman now with Latino Lines. “It makes no
sense whatsoever.”
Latino Lines has pushed to create four majority-Latino House
districts under the plan rejected by the state Supreme Court. The high
court has said the primary election will be based on 2001 state House
and Senate district lines.
The old map includes only one majority-Latino district, and Ortiz
says it disenfranchises a Latino population that has grown to at least
700,000 Pennsylvania residents.
