Voting Rights are on the line. @realMABarreto was a Congressional witness for the @HouseAdm_Dems on voting in America. @UCLAlatino is the only R1 to have 2 witnesses speak about the threats to our democracy and the ballot box this Congressional session.

On Monday a UCLA VRP-led settlement between WA's Port of Pasco and Latino voters within the Port district was approved. Under the settlement, the Port will transition to district-based elections and move elections to even-numbered years to increase voter turnout starting 2026.

As trial starts in TX, analysis from @ucla_vrp shows the 2025 TX map dilutes Black and Hisp. vote in CD9 and CD35. Black and Hisps. vote cohesively Dem., while 2025 map creates two majority-Hisp. districts that are Republican and violate US Constitution. vrp.ucla.edu/vrp-texas-dist…

My research on ballot rejection has just been published and is open access at PRQ! In it, my co-authors Kassra Oskooii + Michael Rios and I use two different studies to argue that bureaucratic bias plays a role in VBM ballot rejection. Check it out! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

New analysis from data science team at @ucla_vrp shows new Texas map dilutes Black and Hispanic vote in CD9 and CD35. This data proves Black and Hispanic voters are cohesive in voting Democrat, however the new map creates both CD9 and CD35 as MAJORITY-HISPANIC CVAP, but overall they are Republican-performing districts, which violates the VRA if data shows Blacks and Hispanics prefer Democrats.

Hard confirmation that Trump-ordered redraw is more illegal racial discrimination. New analysis from UCLA Voting Rights Project shows TX map dilutes Black and Hispanic vote in CD9 and CD35. Evidence this map violates the 1965 VRA vote dilution provision: vrp.ucla.edu/vrp-texas-dist…

On Monday the VRP issued a formal notice letter to the Port of Pasco, alleging violations of the WA Voting Rights Act of 2018. Sent on behalf of Latino voters in the region, it challenges the Port’s at-large voting system which dilutes Latino opportunity. vrp.ucla.edu/press/notice-l…
