Resource: Voting Rights Advocates Challenge At-Large Election Method in Dodge City, Kansas

Voting rights advocates filed a federal lawsuit Thursday evening challenging the at-large method of elections in Dodge City, Kansas, charging it unlawfully dilutes the voting power of Latino/a/e* residents. The case was brought by the UCLA Voting Rights Project, ACLU of Kansas, American Civil Liberties Union, and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP on behalf of two Latino residents of Dodge City, who live in areas that could be drawn into single-member districts that would give them the opportunity to elect candidates of choice.
