520 3 _aWe inquire whether residence in majority-minority districts raises or lowers turnout among Latinos. We argue that the logic suggesting that majority-minority districts suppres turnout is flawed and hypothesize that the net effect is empwering. Further, we suggest that residing in multiple overlapping majority-minority districts - for state assemblies, senates, and the U.S. House - further enhances turnout. We test our hypotheses using individual-level turnout data for voters in five Southern California counties. Examining three general elections from 1996 to 2000, we demonstrate that residing in majority-Latino district ultimately has a positive effect on the propensive of Latino voters to turn out, an effect that increases with the number of Latino districts in wich the voter resides and is consistent across the individual offices in wich a voter might be discriptively represented. in contrast, the probability that non-Hispanic voters turn out decreases as they are subject to increasing layes of majority-Latino districting.
