ASTRONAUT ON THE BALLOT. A migrant farmworker turned astronaut is running for Congress in a newly drawn district in California’s Central Valley, against an incumbent Republican congressman. Republicans challenged Jose Hernandez' identification as astronaut on the ballot, but a judge dismissed that legal challenge. While running behind in campaign funds, Hernandez has a fair chance of overtaking this Republican stronghold, thanks to the rapid growth of the Latino vote. This program, an edition of the series Hacia el Voto 2012.
