<x-flowed>Peter,

There were three subsequent objections to cumulative or limited voting:

o a 1995 objection to cumulative voting in Andrews, Texas (the city subsequently filed a Sec. 5 dec. judg. action, and DOJ then agreed that the change was nondiscriminatory and the court precleared the change);

o a 1999 objection to a change from a single-transferable-vote election method to limited voting for the election of community school district boards in Bronx, Kings, and New York Counties, NY; and

o a 2001 objection to a change to cumulative voting for the Haskell Consolidated Independent School District in Texas (I believe this objection letter may be found on the Voting Section website).

Hi:
Is anyone familiar with any govt. *post 1994* Section 5 objections to cumulative or limited voting methods as appropriate alternative election schemes? The 1994 decision was from the City Council elections in Morton in Cochran County, Texas.

Thanks,
Peter
