perfect analogy. made a change from seven single member districts to two at large. sounds familiar. sounds similar. and doj determined that was going to have an impact. there s a concern about there being a discriminatory purpose. we see a similar thing in dallas, texas. i think this is not an unusual technique. the situation where the minority population is growing, you have districts and there s an attempt to say how do you stop that growth from impacting the outcome of the election. it s classic. so, what is the recourse now that section five isn t there, preclearance is gone, the vote happened on tuesday. the people who want to change, the mayor got his way. that s the change, i think the city s constitution essentially, the charter, so, what can people
