Do we have to have the shock, "how could they?" dance if Sanford is returned

7. I've seen areas with Hispanic population of 45-50% vote Republican

Bonilla (R), Canseco (R) - my old district. 23rd (Some Hispanic areas tend to have low turn out. Some are conservative too)

When I was canvasing for Pete Gallego (D) in a 80% Hispanic area of San Antonio, lot of them said they were voting for Canseco. One barely spoke English.

Fortunately, Gallego won this round.

Both Bonilla and Canseco are Mexican-Americans. They are defense hawks.

Also, the border areas tend to have very poor turn out.

Fortunately, it was border turn out that gave Gallego his win. (Not the San Antonio area. Election night, Canseco was winning until they started tallying votes from cities along the border)

Canseco challenged it because it was the border and surmised that "illegals were voting". He eventually withdrew his challenge.
