Chad Dunn in Tri-City Herald: “Tri-Cities judge rejects moving Latino voter discrimination case to Olympia”


Chad Dunn, the lead attorney with the UCLA Voting Rights Project, pointed out this is the second case to be tried under the 2018 state law. The first, in Yakima County, resulted in a settlement. The attorneys believed from early talks with the Franklin County’s attorneys the concerns could be resolved as quickly. They did not expect the protracted fight with the county that has involved the county taking back an initial settlement plan.
