BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A small town in rural Idaho broke political barriers earlier this month by electing its first fully Latino city council after voters chose to replace more than half of its local leaders in the November election. Community advocates say recent changes in the tiny town mark a huge step for the state's growing Latino population, which has historically experienced a lack of political representation. Wilder's election results stand out because minority candidates don't always succeed in at-large voting systems as supposed to by-district voting, said Jaclyn Kettler, an assistant professor of political science at Boise State University. [...] a federal court struck down a county's at-large method in Georgia in 2013 after critics argued that black candidates were virtually guaranteed never to be elected in the predominantly white region.
