It's wonderful that America is beginning to show more of its diversity. But does that diversity translate into electoral diversity? According to the 2000 Census, 3,694,820 people live in Los Angeles -- 47 percent Hispanic, 30 percent white, 11 percent black and 10 percent Asian. However, the electorate-- 1,538,229 voters as of January -- is 55 percent white, 22 percent Latino, 12 black, 10 percent "other" and 1 percent Asian. Anyone wanna start a voter registration drive with me?
