Dolores Huerta Foundation to file lawsuit against KC Board alleging violations of Voting Rights Act


MALDEF and the Dolores Huerta Foundation will hold a press conference to announce is the filing of a lawsuit against the Board of Supervisors of Kern County, California alleging that the board violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.



Kern County’s 2011 redistricting plan unlawfully dilutes the Latino vote and effectively prevents Latinos from meaningful participation in Board of Supervisor elections.

Maybe this example will open their willfully-shut eyes to the person they were messing with back in Nevada.

Dolores Huerta does more activism in one minute than a doped-up BernieBro does over their entire lifetime. Go ahead and hide this; it just draws more attention to it.

And the Berners keep blaming Hillary and the Dems for their crimes. They really need to understand who the real enemy is.

I'm so glad Hillary and Dolores and others are on it!
