The revelations adopted an exposé by native figures David Lara and Gary Garcia Snyder, who arrange a hidden digicam and captured incriminating video surveillance outdoors a San Luis polling station.

“Selling a convicted poll harvester, who has performed a key position within the maintaining the Democrats’ corrupt grip on our Latino communities, needs to be a wakeup name for the Hispanic neighborhood in San Luis and surrounding areas,” he added.

I’m seeing my fellow Latinos migrating in direction of conservatives like me who maintain excessive requirements, share their values and their languages. Salva tu familia, tu Dinero, tu opportunidades y mas importante el sueno Americano vota con el partido Conservador “El Actual partido del Hispano,” Snyder concluded.
