Ngoku ukuba izicelo eziphambili zabagqatswa zifakiwe, singaqala ukufumana umbono olungileyo wokuba ubume bendlu yowiso-mthetho yaseNew Jersey buza kujongeka njani ukuza kukaJanuwari. Kwaye ngaphandle kwemeko ezimbalwa, ubuso obutsha bendlu yowiso-mthetho buya kufana kakhulu nobudala.
Ukumelwa kwabambalwa yeyona nto yayishushu kakhulu ngexesha lokuzoba imephu yomthetho. Ngokusekwe kwiifilitha zabagqatswa, inani labaphula umthetho abambalwa liya kunyuka ngokuqinisekileyo. Hayi ngokobuninzi boMdibaniso wobuNkokheli baseLatino kunye nabanye abafuna, kodwa mhlawumbi ngokwanele ukujongela phantsi nawuphi na umngeni osemthethweni kwimephu esekwe kuMthetho wamaLungelo okuVota.
Okwangoku, iNew Jersey inesenator yelinye ilizwe laseLatina (isithili 29) kunye namalungu asixhenxe eLatino kwiNdibano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo (izithili 5, 20, 29, 32, 35, kunye nezimbini kwi-33). Emva konyulo lukaNovemba, igumbi ngalinye liya kubona inzuzo-isithili se-35 apho uLatina eza kunyuka esuka kwiNdlu esiya kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu nakwizithili ze-4 kunye ne-36 kwiNdibano. Iziphumo zizonke ziya kuba li-10 Latinos kwindlu yowiso-mthetho entsha xa kuthelekiswa nesibhozo namhlanje.
Abantu base-Afrika baseMelika ngoku banee-senator ezine (izithili 15, 28, 31, 34) kunye namalungu endibano ali-11 (izithili 5, 7, 15, 22, 27, 28, 29, 31, 34, 35, 37). Indlu yowiso-mthetho entsha iya kubona inani elifanayo labasenethi kwaye naphi na ukusuka kwi-11 ukuya kwi-14 yama-Afrika-aseMelika kwindlu esezantsi (esekwe kwinzuzo kwizithili 2, 7, kunye ne-35). Oku kuthetha ukuba uluntu lwase-Afrika-lwaseMelika luya kugcina ubuncinci inani elifanayo labowiso-mthetho kwaye banokongeza abathathu ngaphezulu. Uqikelelo lwam olululo ngeli xesha langoku kukufumana isihlalo esinye okanye ezibini.
Ama-Asiya ngoku abambe isihlalo kwigumbi ngalinye (isithili sama-40 kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu nakwisithili se-17 kwiNdibano). Ayizukutshintsha emva konyulo lukaNovemba.
Into enomdla apha kukuba ukwanda kobuhlanga kunye nohlanga oluncinci kwindlu yowiso-mthetho yaseNew Jersey akunanto yakwenza nawaphi na amathuba ekucingelwa ukuba enziwe yimephu ephume kwinkqubo yokumiswa kwakhona. Ngapha koko, ukuba uhlalutya inani le-Hispanics kunye nabamnyama kwisithili ngasinye, uya kufumana utshintsho oluncinci kakhulu kwimephu yangoku ukuya entsha. Kwizithili ezingama-35 kwezingama-40, umyinge wabemi baseHispanic okanye abahlali abamnyama utshintshe ngamanqaku angaphaya kwesithathu. Kwaye nakwezinye izithili ezihlanu, kuyakubakho utshintsho oluncinci kubameli.
Isithili 34 sabona ukonyuka okukhulu kwenani labambalwa, lisuka kwi-37% laya kuma-45% abamnyama, kodwa sele limelwe ngabameli ababini base-Afrika nabamaMelika. Isithili sama-27 sabona ukwehla okukhulu, ukusuka kwi-32% ukuya kwi-14% emnyama, kodwa isazakuquka i-Afrika-yaseMelika kubathunywa bayo bezomthetho, ubuncinci kulo nyaka.
Esona sizathu sokwanda kwenani labambalwa asiyiyo imephu uqobo, kodwa yimfuno yeDemocratic Party yokuthomalalisa amaqela angonwabanga. Umzekelo, izinto ezimbini ezithathwa yiNdibano kwiLatinos ziza kwizithili ezingatshintshanga kangako kubemi-abangama-36th(ukusuka kwi-35% ukuya kwi-37% ye-Hispanic) kunye ne-4th(ukusuka kwi-6% kwi-Hispanic ukuya kwi-7% ye-Hispanic).
Abantu base-Afrika baseMelika bayonyusa umthetho wabo kwi-35th, apho iNdibano yowesifazane uNellie Pou uya kunyuka aye kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu ukuba ajoyine uTeresa Ruiz njengokuphela kweLatinas kwelo gumbi. Isithili esitsha siya kumelwa nguLatina kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu kunye nababini base-Afrika baseMelika kwiNdibano, kufanelekile ukuba uyiqaphele imeko yempikiswano yokuma kwakhona. Abemi besithili ngenene bangaphezulu kwe-Hispanic (48%) kunoMnyama (25%).
Ukumelwa kwe-Afrika-Melika nako kunokunyuka kwezinye izithili ngaphandle kwabantu abaninzi abamnyama. Oku kubandakanya i-7th- apho inani labantu abamnyama liye lehla ngamanqaku amahlanu ukuya kwi-24% kwimephu entsha- nakwi-2ndeyi-20% emnyama.
Kwaye kwabo bachaphazelekayo malunga nomlinganiso wesini wendlu yowiso-mthetho yaseNew Jersey, ndilindele utshintsho oluncinci okanye akukho. Okwangoku kukho iiSenethi zabasetyhini ezili-10 kunye nabasetyhini abangama-24 Emva konyulo luka-Novemba, kuyakubakho abasetyhini abali-10 okanye abali-11 kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu naphakathi kwabasetyhini abayi-22 ukuya kuma-24 kwiNdibano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo. Olona qikelelo lwam lubalaseleyo ngeli xesha kukuba inani elipheleleyo lababhinqileyo yowiso-mthetho liya kuhlala lizinzile kuma-34.
