"We Are Going To March Through The November Election"...

Adela Rodriguez took exquisite flourish in becoming a Dallas County registered voter on Sunday. On her left cheek, she painted a red-white-and-blue flag, on her right, a lone star in blue.
A 37-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen from Mexico, she said she wants to vote into office politicians who will support legalizing immigrants.

"I'm an immigrant, and I must support other immigrants," she said, holding a green registration stub in one hand and a U.S. flag in the other.

"I am so optimistic that I have 5,000 voter registration cards," said Lena Levario, a criminal defense lawyer running for the 204th Criminal District Court bench as a Democrat. By the day's end, though, she hadn't received a tally on the number of new registered voters harvested from the massive crowd.

"The march doesn't end here," she said. "We are going to march to the end of the November election."
