| | Bloc voting by blacks tends to prove that the black community is politically cohesive, that is, it shows that blacks prefer certain candidates whom they could elect in a single-member, black majority district. | | | The relevance of the existence of racial bloc voting to a vote dilution claim is twofold: to ascertain whether minority group members constitute a politically cohesive unit and to determine whether whites vote sufficiently as a bloc usually to defeat the minority's preferred candidate. | | | The Senate Report states that the "extent to which voting in the elections of the state or political subdivision is racially polarized," S.Rep., at 29, U.S.Code Cong. |

| | As the court below stated, that is evidence of racial bloc voting. | | | The court noted that in Gingles this Court upheld a finding of racial bloc voting based on analysis of elections in which blacks ran for office. | | | If Jones had obtained 49 percent of the black vote in the 1979 special election rather than the 66 percent the plaintiffs claimed, the court explained, that would still be a sufficiently significant proportion of the black vote to qualify Jones as the preferred candidate of the black voters. |

| | A minority vote dilution practice that diminishes the ability of minority voters to elect representatives of their choice to office by separating the minority population in the redistricting process into two or more districts each with insufficient minority population to constitute an electoral majority. | | | A minority vote dilution practice that diminishes the ability of minority voters to elect representatives of their choice to office by placing far more minority voters into a district than required to elect a candidate preferred by minority voters. | | | A form of modified at-large voting in which each voter gets fewer votes to cast than there are seats to be filled; the effect is to prevent the majority from capturing all the seats and to allow the minority to elect some of its candidates. |

| | In Texas, the Democratic establishment assumed Hispanics saw themselves as "minority voters." Party activists spent years recruiting Ron Kirk, who is black, and Tony Sanchez, a Hispanic businessman, to run for senator and governor, respectively. | | | Either way, Latino power will be a moderating influence as this bloc of voters judges candidates less on ideology than on what they actually deliver for the community. | | | One of the biggest reasons Latinos are so much in play this fall is that so many Republicans are wooing them—campaigning in their neighborhoods, running targeted ads and simply paying them the respect of asking them directly for their votes. |
