The Coming Electorate

November 29, 2010 - byGary Pearce

Want to know what North Carolina’s electorate will look like in another, say, 10 years?

Look at what the public-school population looks like.

The N&O reported recently that, for the first time, minorities make up a majority of the WakeCounty school population.

And note: Hispanic students, now 14.6 percent of the enrollment are “the fastest-growing group in the school system.”

Wait ‘til they start voting. The Republican Party will pay a price for years of immigrant-bashing.
