California’s attorney general says he'll investigate Los Angeles’ redistricting process
Los Angeles-City Council-Racism
“It’s clear an investigation is sorely needed to help restore confidence in the redistricting process for the people of LA,” he added.“It could lead to criminality if that’s where the facts and the law dictate,” he said. “There’s certainly the potential for civil liability based on civil rights and voting rights laws here in the state of California.”
The council reconvened Wednesday, possibly to censure the three members, with the minimum of 10 out of 15 members necessary for a quorum but was unable to do business because a crowd of protesters chanted slogans such as, “No resignation, shut it down.” The acting council president eventually announced that there was no longer a quorum and adjourned the meeting.The council cannot expel the members — it can only suspend a member when criminal charges are pending.
The California Legislative Black Caucus said the recording “reveals an appalling effort to decentralize Black voices during the critical redistricting process.”
