Arturo Otero
Voting Rights Suit - Arthur Otero
WGM represented Arturo Otero, a Hispanic citizen of Puerto Rican heritage
and candidate who seeks to intervene in a voting rights suit against Osceola County, Florida. The US Department of Justice alleges that the at large system currently in place for electing the members of Osceola County’s Board of Commissioners violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Mr. Otero disagrees with that contention and sees the lawsuit and its objectives as greater hindrances to the exercise of political power by Hispanics. A separate suit challenges Kissimmee’s similar at-large system for electing its city commissioners.
