BOSTON – Even those supporting legislation that would ban the use of handheld mobile devices while behind the wheel agree that the measure won't eliminate the scourge of distracted driving.
Up for debate at the State House on Thursday, the bill (S 2093) would harden Massachusetts' stance against juggling a cell phone or other electronic device while driving. The proposed legislation would only allow the use of hands-free devices when driving. But safety experts say the measure is no cure-all.
NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — Despite a growing pool of potential Hispanic voters in the United States, driven largely by young people, Latinos are likely to be underrepresented at the polls in 2016, a study released Tuesday has found.

A majority of Hispanics, 52 percent, are too young to vote or are not U.S. citizens.
