Los Angeles Redistricting Mess

Los Angeles is wading through a messy redistricting.  LA Observed:

“The redistricting commission plan, Ochoa said, would reduce Latino representation and “will directly put Latino and African American communities in electoral conflict throughout the coming decade.” If Latino representation is reduced, the city could conceivably be found in violation of the Voting Rights Act, which is designed to assure equal representation for minorities.”

The story presents a battle between the black and Hispanic “minority” in LA.  No word on how the plans affect other minorities.
