Washington Supreme Court slams challenge to the state’s Voting Rights Act

The Washington Supreme Court denied a challenge of the state’s Voting Rights Act on Thursday, upholding a settlement between Latino voters and Franklin County that created single-member district systems in lieu of “at large” ones. The appeal filed by Franklin County voter James Gimenez sought to upend a settlement reached in May 2022 after three Latino voters sued Franklin County and its board of commissioners for diluting the votes of Latino voters.
