Can anyone provide information about how often different minority groups are at odds with each other over VRA issues?  Are there examples of litigation in which, for example, Hispanic and African American voters in a jurisdiction have both challenged a redistricting plan or other voting practice, alleging vote dilution, and sought changes which would affect the other group’s claims? How do judges balance these competing claims?
