Port Chester Cumulative Voting and Hispanic Representation
A court-ordered election in Port Chester, New York, implemented a cumulative voting system to increase minority representation. This system allowed residents to cast up to six votes for a single candidate, resulting in the election of Luis Marino as the town's first Hispanic trustee. The hosts debate whether this "pick six" math is a fair way to empower minorities or a form of legal ballot stuffing.
