The Diversifying Electorate—Voting Rates by Race and Hispanic Origin in 2012
Washington, DC.– The U.S. Census released its Current Population Survey May 2013 report titled The Diversifying Electorate—Voting Rates by Race and Hispanic Origin in 2012 (and Other Recent Elections).
The report focuses on presidential elections since 1996 to provide analyses about how the American electorate is becoming increasingly more diverse. The report also highlights patterns of voter turnout by race and Hispanic origin.
The full report is available at:
http://hstrial-iinfo879.intuitwebsites.com/~local/~Preview/Census_-_Voting_in_2012.pdf
OVERALL VOTER TURNOUT (1996–2012)
Since 1996, the number of citizens eligible to vote has increased in every presidential election, as has the number of citizens who have reported voting. Table 2 displays these relative increases by race and Hispanic origin over the five most recent election cycles.3 Overall, 133 million people reported voting in 2012, a turnout increase of about
2 million people since the elec- tion of 2008. Between 1996 and 2008, turnout increases varied but were always larger than in 2012, reaching a high of about 15 million additional voters in 2004.
In comparison to the election of 2008, about 1.7 million additional Black voters reported going to the polls in 2012, as did about 1.4 million additional Hispanics and about 550,000 additional Asians. The number of non-Hispanic White voters decreased by about 2 million between 2008 and 2012. Since 1996, this is the only example of a race group showing a decrease in net voting from one presidential election to the next, and it indicates that the 2012 voting population expansion came primarily from minority voters.

La Mesa Redonda Propone Mapa Legislativo a Junta de Paterson, NJ
English
Washington, DC (30 de noviembre, 2011) .— En una audiencia pública llevada a cabo ayer 29 de noviembre del 2011 en el Passaic County Administration Building en Paterson, NJ, La Mesa Redonda Dominico Americana (DANR), la única organización sin fines de lucro, no partidista, con sede en Washington, D. C. abogando y representando los intereses socioeconómicos y políticos de los más de dos millones de dominicanos en los Estados Unidos, sometió un mapa de los seis barrios de Paterson a la Comisión Local de Redistribución de Distritos. DANR Proposed Ward Boundaries for the City of Paterson
Dr. María Teresa Feliciano, la Presidente de DANR presentó el mapa durante la primera audiencia de la Comisión, compuesta por los Comisionados de la Junta de Elecciones John Currie (D), Arthur G. Soto (R), Eugene Liss (R), y Lauren Murphy (D), así como también Paterson City Cleck Jane Williams.
Presidente Feliciano se dirigió a los miembros de la comisión sobre el aumento de la población Latina en la ciudad de Paterson y la necesidad de que el nuevo mapa de la ciudad refleje este cambio demográfico, como lo indica el Censo 2010.
Tambien testificaron Alba Mota, en representacion del Concilio Nacional Dominico Americano (Testimony of Alba Mota-Paterson, NJ), Yohany Mendez, Rhina Tavarez y Joel Martinez.
A continuación una transcripción del testimonio de Dr. María Teresa Feliciano, grabado por Latino Vision://latinovisiontv.com/:
Testimony of DANR President Maria Teresa Feliciano:
President of The Dominican American National Roundtable
Hearing of the Paterson Ward Commission
Passaic County Administration Building
401 Grand Street Paterson, NJ 07505
Tuesday, November 29, 2011, 1:00PM
Members of the Paterson Ward Commission:
On behalf of the Dominican American National Roundtable, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to address the Committee regarding the redistricting of Paterson’ Six Wards.
The Dominican American National Roundtable is a national organization founded in 1997 with the mission of representing and advocating for the educational, economic and civil rights of the over 2 million Dominicans in the United States. Including the large population of Dominicans in the City of Paterson, which ranks fifth, among the 10 largest Dominican populations in the United States.
We understand that the issue before this Commission is the redistricting of Paterson’ Six Wards, that demographic changes reported by the 2010 Census may be accurately reflected, communities of interest be kept together, and all Patersonians be properly represented.
This process must take place of course, observing the following state mandated guiding criteria:
Wards should be as compact as reasonably possible;
Contiguity must be striven for;
US Census Tract Boundaries must be respected wherever possible;
Physical Ward Boundaries such as rivers, railroads, major roadways, major land formations, etc. should be respected;
We request that the commission consider the following, in its quest to design maps that would lead to accurate representation of all Patersonians.
According to the 2010 US Census, there are 50.5 million Hispanics in the United States, composing 16 percent of the total population. Hispanics increased by 15.2 million (or 43%) between 2000 and 2010, which accounted for over half of the total population growth that occurred in the U.S. over the past 10 years. New Jersey is one of the states showing a large increase in Hispanic population, bringing it to –%. Paterson, specifically, lost 3,023 in its general population, but gained 4,767 Hispanics from 2000 to 2010.
The 2010 data regarding Hispanic residents revealed that the City of Paterson is currently 57.6% Latino, 31.7% Black, 12.6% White and 8.1% Other.
At the end of the redistricting process, the map of Paterson’ Six Wards must reflect its population.
In observing the current map of the city, it is of concern to see that the map of the 4th Ward effectively divides the Riverside, a community of interest, in the middle. It places ½ in the 3rd Ward and ½ in the 4th Ward.
We propose a map of the 4th Ward that will keep this community of interest together. A map that takes into consideration, and respects the following areas of service and interest:
1. Socio-economic status
2. Mail delivery routes
3. Recycling schedules
4. Transportation routes
5. Public works service schedules
6. Bunker Hill Special Improvement District
7. Zip codes (07524 & 07514)
As a result of changing the boundaries of the 4th Ward, and accommodating the changes in population, the remaining wards’ boundaries are also adjusted and submitted.
We look forward to working with the Committee to contribute in your effort to make sure that Paterson achieves a fair and constitutional redistricting.
Thank you,
Dr. Maria Teresa Feliciano, President

Grupo Dominicano contempla ganancia en la redistribución de distritos
Por Frank Lobardi
NY Daily News
Caption: Activistas que aspiran elegir el primer congresista dominicano en los Estados Unidos quieren hacerlo a costa de la Congressista Carolyn Maloney.
Conocido como “The Silk Stocking District” (El Distrito de las Medias de Seda), el distrito congresional de Maloney (CD-14) representa partes de Manhattan y Queens. Su población es 65.7% blanca y 13% hispana, según los datos del censo.
Un plan de redistribución de distritos creado por la Mesa Redonda Dominico Americana cambiaría radicalmente las líneas del CD-14, para incluir la concentrada población dominicana de Washington Heights e Inwood, pasar por un pasillo hispano del Bronx hasta el sur de Yonkers, Weschester County, con su creciente población dominicana.
Así de simple, la población del nuevo CD-14 se convertiría en 60% hispana y 16.2% blanca.
Aunque Maloney, que fue electa en el 1993, podría postularse en el Nuevo distrito, de seguro perdería contra un dominicano.
Un vocero de Maloney nos dijo: “la Congresista Maloney no ha visto el plan y por lo tanto no puede ofrecer comentarios”.
La Mesa Redonda, una organización nacional de cabildeo a favor de los 1.4 millones de dominicanos en los Estados Unidos, presentará su plan a la Comisión Legislativa Estatal de Investigación Demográfica y Redistribución, el próximo jueves en el Bronx Community College.
A la propuesta de eliminar a Maloney, le acompaña un rediseño mayor – aunque benigno – del distrito 15, representado por muchos años por el Congresista de Harlem Charles Rangel.
Actualmente, el distrito de Rangel está contenido en el Alto Manhattan e incluye Washington Heights e Inwood. El distrito ha experimentado una transformación demográfica radical en lasúltimas décadas y es ahora 26.5% negro, 46.1% hispano, 20.9% blanco y 4.2% asiático. Por lo menos la mitad de los hispanos son dominicanos, según los datos del censo.
Hasta ahora, la Mesa Redonda había favorecido una versión del CD-15 que incluía más constituyentes hispanos en el sur del Bronx. Pero esa versión tenía la posibilidad de poner los negros y los hispanos unos contra otros por control político.
Néstor Montilla, chairman de la Mesa Redonda, dijo que el nuevo plan de redistribución preserva el CD-15 afro-americano, a la vez que dibuja un nuevo distrito con mayoría hispana en el CD-14.
Las nuevas líneas incluyen los vecindarios del sur del Bronx hasta la autopista 678, en el Bronx-Whitestone Bridge. Las líneas proceden hacia el norte a través de un corredor del Bronx por la I-678, y coge un trozo del noreste del Bronx (incluyendo Co-op City) y gran parte de Mount Vernon en el condado de Westchester, todas áreas de considerable población afro-americana.
De nuevo, así de simple, el plan de La Mesa Redonda Dominico Americana convierte el CD-15 en 41.2% negro, 23.7% hispano, 27.9% blanco y 4.7% asiático.
Obviamente, las nuevas líneas son más favorables para un candidato afroamericano, después que Rangel ya no sea congresista. Rangel no ha comentado, pero se dice piensa que la propuesta es inverosímil.
María Teresa Feliciano, presidente de la Mesa Redonda Dominico Americana, dijo que el aumento de la población hispana amerita más de un distrito adicional de mayoría hispana.
El estado perderá dos de sus 29 distritos congresionales actuales debido a la redistribución después del censo.
“Los Latinos en New York tenemos dos puestos congresionales; hemos tenido dos por los últimos 20 años”, lamentó Feliciano. “Basado en los datos demográficos, a la Comisión le sería muy difícil dibujar un mapa que no incluya por lo menos un distrito adicional de mayoría latina, ya sea nuestra propuesta o alguna otra propuesta”.

Dominican group eyes gains in redistricting in ‘Silk Stocking District’
BY FRANK LOMBARDI
DAILY NEWS UPTOWN POLITICAL COLUMNIST
Thursday, September 1st 2011, 4:00 AM
Caption: Proposals by Dominican Roundtable would alter Reps. Charles Rangel and Carolyn Maloney’s current Congressional districts to favor Hispanics.
Advocates who dream of electing the country’s first Dominican-American member of Congress want to do it at the expense of upper East Side Rep. Carolyn Maloney.
Known as “the Silk Stocking District,” Maloney’s 14th Congressional District (CD) currently represents portions of Manhattan and Queens. Its population is 65.7% white to 13.7% Hispanic, based on new Census figures.
A redistricting plan crafted by the Dominican American National Roundtable would radically change the 14th CD’s lines to take in Dominican-heavy Washington Heights and Inwood and then range through a Hispanic-friendly Bronx corridor into south Yonkers, Westchester County, with a growing Dominican population.
Just like that, the new 14th CD’s population would flip, becoming 60% Hispanic to 16.2% white.
While Maloney, who was first elected in 1993, could still run in such a new district, she presumably could lose to a Dominican.
A spokesman for Maloney said, “Congresswoman Maloney has not seen the plan and therefore can’t comment.”
The Dominican Roundtable, a national advocacy group for the country’s 1.4 million Dominican-Americans, will present its plan next Thursday at Bronx Community College to the state’s Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment.
The proposed Maloney mauling is coupled with a major – but largely benign – redrawing of the 15th CD, long represented by Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel.
Currently, Rangel’s district is virtually all within upper Manhattan, and includes Washington Heights and Inwood. The district has undergone a demographic transformation over several decades, and is now: 26.5% black; 46.1% Hispanic; 20.9% white and 4.2% Asian. At least half of the Hispanics are Dominicans, according to Census data.
Up to now, the Dominican Roundtable had favored a redistricting of the 15th CD that would have picked up some additional Hispanic constituents in the South Bronx. But that version had the potential of pitting blacks and Hispanics against each other for political control.
Nestor Montilla, chairman of the Dominican Roundtable, said the new redistricting plan would preserve the 15th CD as an African-American district, while also crafting a new Hispanic-majority district with the 14th CD.
The 15th CD’s new lines would pick up neighborhoods along the southern crescent of the Bronx to roughly Interstate 678, at the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge. The lines would then proceed north through a corridor of Bronx turf along I-678, and pick up a chunk of the northeast Bronx (including Co-op City) and much of Mount Vernon in Westchester County, all areas with sizable African-American populations.
Again, just like that, under the Dominican Roundtable’s proposed new lines the 15th CD’s demographics would become 41.2% black, 23.7% Hispanic, 27.9% white and 4.7% Asian.
Ostensibly, the new lines would be more favorable to a post-Rangel African-American candidate. Rangel hasn’t commented, but is said to view the proposal as basically a nonstarter.
Maria Teresa Feliciano, president of the Dominican Roundtable, said that based on population gains by Hispanics one or more additional new Hispanic-majority districts are warranted.
The state will lose two of its current 29 seats due to reapportionment after the new Census.
“We have two seats; we’ve had two for the past 20 years,” Feliciano lamented. “Based on demographics, the Task Force will be hard-pressed to come up with a map that doesn’t include at least one additional Latino-majority district, whether it’s our or some other proposal.”

In line for nation’s 1st Dominican rep?

Thursday, August 4, 2011 (page 40)
In these dog days of summer there’s not much urgency among uptown politicos about the impending redistricting of state legislative and congressional districts.
But that doesn’t mean there’s not much interest in what could happen, especially to the 15th Congressional District, which for 65 years has been represented by just two African-American men.
Incumbent Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) has held the seat for 40 years, ever since deposing Adam Clayton Powell Jr., who held the seat for 25 years, going back to 1945.
Though commonly referred to as the Harlem seat, and mistakenly believed by some to be a majority black district, the 15th CD’s demographics long ago tipped in favor of Hispanics, predominantly Dominicans in this case.
According to the 2010 Census, the Dominican population of Manhattan – which is largely concentrated in Rangel’s district -grew by 14% since 2000.
There are 155,971 Dominicans in the borough now, compared to 107,774 Puerto Ricans and 41,965 Mexicans. And the raw numbers distinctly show that if redistricting were strictly based on demographics, and not politics and incumbency, the 15th CD’s lines could be adjusted to provide a shot for electing the country’s first Dominican congressional representative.
Consider: the 15th CD’s population was 48% Hispanic in the 2000 Census, compared to 30.5% black, 16% white and 3% Asian. Based on the 2010 Census, the Hispanic share has decreased slightly to 46%, but the black population decreased even more, to 26.5%. The white share has increased to 21% and the Asian to 4%.
The are 125,824 more Hispanics than blacks in the 15th CD than 10 years ago. And by voting age population, Hispanics outnumber blacks nearly two to one.
Moving the district’s lines north into Dominican-populated sections of the Bronx, such as Kingsbridge, the percentage of Dominicans would grow considerably.
“The numbers are there to make the case,” said Jose Ramon Bello, the former executive director of the Dominican American National Roundtable (DANR), which advocates nationally for more than 1 million Dominicans.
Because of reapportionment tied to the new census, the state is losing two of its 29 congressional seats. One is likely to be eliminated upstate and the other in the city, which now has 13 districts. All surviving districts will have to be redrawn to encompass an average of 717,707 constituents, compared to 654,372 currently.
That means the 15th CD will have to grow, one way or another. Rangel, who intends to run for a 22nd term next year, has said he wants to keep his district within Manhattan.
The redistricting is to be completed next year before candidates file for the fall elections. Albany legislative leaders who normally control the process have largely ignored Gov. Cuomo’s call for an independent redistricting commission. Cuomo has vowed to veto any plan that prioritizes “partisan and incumbent interests,” which would force the courts to do the redistricting.
Hearings by the New York State Legislature Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment are underway, with one scheduled in each of the five boroughs next month.
The DANR’s proposed redistricting of the 15th CD and several other city districts will be presented to the task force at those hearings, said DANR President Maria Teresa Feliciano. She stressed the intent is to “facilitate the creation of a district that reflects the changes in demographics.”

Washington, DC (April 5, 2011).- The Dominican American National Roundtable, its National Dominican American Council and the Massachusetts Political Organization Oiste? held a training on redistricting on Saturday April 2, 2011, 11am-2pm at Northern Essex County Community College. This free training was one of many being hosted across the nation by the DANR to empower the Dominican and Latino communities to take a participatory role in redistricting, “the process of drawing US district line and impacting our electoral district distribution” a process that happens every 10 years after the release of the US Census.
John Garcia, Esq., Redistricting Manager from LatinoJustice, PRLDEF, and Jose Bello, Consultant of DANR National Redistricting Project, conducted the training where over a dozen members from Lawrence, Boston and Lynn learned about the possibilities of redesigning districts lines in MA that can be representative of the Latino Vote!
The enthusiasm and clear motivation of the attendees resulted in pondering the design of five maps, all with close to or above 50% Latino population. These maps will be revised and proposed to the members of Massachusetts Joint Committee on Redistricting for their consideration.
“We encourage and motivate all interested individuals to join this process so that our voices can be heard!,” said Clarisa Abreu, a DANR State Vice President in MA.
“This is the way Democracy is drawn,” said Maria D. Moreno, State Vice President/National Board Member of the Dominican American National Roundtable. ”Join the discussion and attend the statewide hearings to support Latino representation in our state.”
