[EL] VRA Decision in Section 2 Case, Montes, et al. v. Yakima

[Hamilton, Kevin J. (Perkins Coie)]

Judge Rice in the Eastern District of Washington entered an order this afternoon granting summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in a Section 2 case challenging the Yakima City Council at-large system.  We are, obviously, thrilled with the outcome.  Here's a link to the 67-page order.  https://aclu-wa.org/cases/montes-v-city-yakima-0[aclu-wa.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://aclu-wa.org/cases/montes-v-city-yakima-0&k=06%2F1%2FwqqQY9VYFo4IVhphQ%3D%3D%0A&r=oc1pYU4D2E1OvTrJv8IP8a8TwqUETwFDCOButvOpmXI%3D%0A&m=IPux9xVpyirYS056l8szP9iEHtSvSkFAlIj0Dwp%2Bguw%3D%0A&s=ec7cfbfd348159b5637c40b9f24c5dded44b5d02c313d6a71cd1e0f619e27fed>
