Donohue, City Clerk / Communications Director Eastvale City Hall 12363 Limonite Ave., Suite 910 Eastvale, CA 91752 Email: cityclerk@eastvaleca.gov Re: City of Eastvale City Council Redistricting 2021-2022. Dear Members of the City of Eastvale City Council and Mr. Donohue: On behalf of MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund), I write to urge you to draft a redistricting plan for the election of councilmembers to the City of Eastvale City Council that complies with section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, 52 U.S.C. §10301, requires the City of Eastvale to construct a plan that includes a district for the election of a councilmember in which Latinos constitute a majority of citizen voting age population (CVAP). Federal law is clear that in determining compliance under Section 2 of the VRA, “CVAP is the appropriate measure to use in determining whether an additional effective majority-minority district can be created.” Luna v. County of Kern, 291 F.Supp.3d 1088, 1107 (E.D. Cal. 2018) (quoting Cano v. Davis, 211 F.Supp.2d 1208, 1233 (C.D. Cal. 2002). It has come to MALDEF’s attention that Eastvale has characterized more than one of the proposed redistricting plans that councilmembers are considering as having multiple “Hispanic majority-minority districts.” See City of Eastvale Regular Council Meeting, January 26, 2022, video at 52:50, https://eastvale.granicus.com/player/clip/264?view_id=1&redirect=true (accessed February 8, 2022). At the Regular Council Meeting held on January 26, 2022, a consultant presented proposed maps with “Findings,” including a finding stating that “[d]rawing majority/minority districts are possible based on the overall percentage of minority residents (Districts 1, 3, 4 & 5 are already majority/minority Hispanic voting districts; District 2 is a majority/minority Asian).” See January 26 video at 52:52. This analysis of proposed redistricting plans fails to account for the requirements of the federal Voting Rights Act because it uses total population rather than CVAP to conclude that the proposals have “majority/minority Hispanic voting districts.” 7
