  • Amicus Curiae Letter in Support of Petition for Review Pico Neighborhood Association, Et Al
    August 20, 2020 Hon. Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye and Hon. Associate Justices Supreme Court of California 350 McAllister Street, Room 1295 San Francisco, CA 94102-4797 Re: Amicus Curiae Letter in Support of Petition for Review Pico Neighborhood Association, et al. v. City of Santa Monica Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Eight, Case No. B295935 Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC616804 Dear Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the California Supreme Court: In its July 9, 2020 Opinion, the Court of Appeal held that the California Voting Rights Act (Elections Code 14025-14032, “CVRA”) only applies to jurisdictions in which a minority community is numerous and geographically concentrated enough to comprise the majority of voters in a compact election district. The Court of Appeal reasoned that only with a majority in an election district could a minority community elect its preferred candidates. Our collective experience, as Latino, Black and Asian Pacific Islander elected officials in California demonstrates that the Opinion is wrong. As discussed below, nearly half of us were elected to the Legislature by districts where the corresponding minority community accounts for between 20% and 49% of the district’s eligible voters. Still, it is, in part, because of the strong support we receive from our respective minority communities that we have prevailed in elections. Not only is the Opinion wrong, it is horribly damaging to the voting rights of millions of Californians, and the prospects for the next generation of minority leaders. Because California is exceptionally diverse (one of our state’s great strengths), and not as segregated as the Deep South (at which the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 was directed), minority communities are not compact enough to comprise the majority of voters in an election district in many jurisdictions.
