One person, one vote was the theme at the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials meeting Tuesday evening in Gainesville. It was GALEO’s first public meeting of the Voting Rights Committee. Its purpose was to explain to residents how the city’s at-large voting system dilutes the votes of districts with majority Hispanic populations and denies them the opportunity to elect leaders of their choice.
