Thats great, but it dodges the point. This voting guide seems to be encouraging people to at least try to vote even if they are not qualified

Based on your OP, I would describe it more as educating newly naturalized citizens on their voting rights, particularly in light of the mailing by a republican candidate in California (on the letterhead of a bogus hispanic organization) threatening immigrants even if they qualified:
Be advised that if your residence in the United States is illegal or if you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that can result in incarceration, and possible deportation for voting without the right to do so. …
edit: I am looking at the voting guide on the La Raza website:

I dont see anything that "seems to be encouraging people to at least try to vote even if they are not qualified". Maybe the mailing to you was different.
The only problem I have with it is the notion that "a pro-hispanic candidate supports....a, b, c" which discourages independent thinking.
Again, church guides do the same with a "pro-christian candidate supports..."
