MEXICO'S VOTING LAWS...
IS FINALLY GETTING
PULLED.
BACK IN 20-10 -- NEARLY
60- PERCENT OF STATE
VOTERS
SAID "YES" TO REMOVING
LANGUAGE PREVENTING
QUOTE "IDIOTS AND INSANE
PERSONS" FROM VOTING.
THAT LANGUAGE ISN'T
CONSISTENT WITH FEDERAL
LAW. BUT A STATE
COMMISSION RULED THAT
ANY VOTE ON ELECTION
LAWS... REQUIRES
75-PERCENT TO PASS.
TODAY -- THE STATE
SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED
THAT RULING ... SAYING
THE 75-
PERCENT RULE WAS NOT
MEANT TO COVER
SITUATIONS LIKE THIS ...
AND A SIMPLE MAJORITY OF
50-PERCENT IS ENOUGH.
1:20:19 our decision has
to be based on what we
honestly believe the law
was intended to be.
ANOTHER AMENDMENT THAT
WILL NOW PASS AS A
RESULT OF
THE DECISION WILL END A
BAN ON HOLDING SCHOOL
ELECTIONS AT THE SAME
TIME AS GENERAL
ELECTIONS.
THE CITY OF SANTA FE
WILL SOON ALLOW PEOPLE
