VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. â The City of Virginia Beach is moving forward to file an appeal in the Holloway vs. City of Virginia Beach voting rights case.
Virginia Beach residents, Latasha Holloway and Georgia Allen, both African Americans filed a lawsuit on the city s voting system. Previously, the city s voting system has allowed all voters across the city to elect city council and school board members regardless of where they live.
The City Attorney’s Office gave its first public presentation to the council about the complexities of the ongoing federal case, which immediately stopped Virginia Beach from using its current voting system.
