<x-flowed>Hi,
I think there were some section 5 VRA posts a little while ago, but I was wondering if anybody knew of a good place to to look  for examples of the types of settlements-new election plans- that have come out of section 5 preclearance being denied and communities working out new plans to satisfy VRA.

Thanks,
