The siggie says it all.
ETA: One other thing...your husband you say, is of Hispanic descent,{200 hundred years ago, Hispanics in this land were maybe one or 2 steps above Blacks here BTW especially since Spain was still in the process of trying to conquer those people...} have you ever considered asking him, with all the issues about immigration, with a lot of racism being aimed at Hispanics and that a lot of what happens, electorally speaking, may hinge on the Hispanic population (in this day and age of us being 'enlightened'), exactly how he feels with being able to cast his vote and others of Hispanic descent living here right now that can't? You may also want to consider that only 45 years ago, you and your husband's marriage would have been considered, illegal.

I appreciate the topic, as I was in Honors History throughout school. I loathe the misuse of irony.
And to say the vote hinges on one "population" is oversimplfying things. If the population was going to unify and vote "in force", it could have a dramatic impact, but most "populations", while having things in common, are just as diverse politically as a melting pot of white/black/hispanic/men/women.
