Many of them can't stand each other or will not fellowshp w one another.
They could become a formidable voting bloc but they either don't care anymore about the goings on or cannot agree if it's partly cloudy or partly sunny.

Gotcha.
That clears a lot up.
Sounds a lot like Alexandria, La.
The population of the city proper (about 50K) is 55 percent black.
They could very easily elect a black mayor if they would unite behind one candidate.
But not only did about four power-hungry black city councilmen and such all run for mayor and dilute the vote, apathy and ignorance kept many blacks from voting.
Of course UPC churches and pastors not getting along is not limited to the Spanish brethren.
But yes ... I envisioned them being a formidable voting bloc in the Houston Metro West and Metro East sections.
