Today, the UCLA Voting Rights Project (UCLA VRP) filed a landmark lawsuit on behalf of Aleida Aquino and Brendalis Lopez, represented by the UCLA VRP, Myers, Brier & Kelly, LLP, Winebrake & Santillo, LLC, and Frederick P. Rooney. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, seeks to overturn an at-large election system for the Hazleton Area School Board (HASB) that dilutes the voting strength of the district’s sizable Latino population.
