    “The City is pleased with the Court’s decision. Nearly 40,000 Santa Monica residents voted in the 2018 election. The Court’s decision honors those votes and rejects plaintiffs’ inexplicable effort to favor a past Council (also selected at-large) over the Council chosen by the voters just weeks ago. The result sought by plaintiffs would have moved our democracy backward, not forward.”

    • Lane Dilg, Santa Monica City Attorney

    The judge in the voting rights lawsuit against the City on Tuesday denied a request by the plaintiffs to halt certification of the results of the November 6 Santa Monica Council election.

    The plaintiffs lead attorney, Keven Shenkman, downplayed the decision, comparing the City's reaction to a baseball team down nine to nothing celebrating a called ball.

    "Congratulations to the City for winning nothing," Shenkman said.

    November 26, 2018 -- A map submitted by plaintiffs last week in a voting rights lawsuit against the City places three council members in one district, while leaving three districts without current representation.

    The plaintiff's map carves the 8.3-square-mile City of some 92,000 into seven districts with approximately 13,000 residents each.

    Under the proposed map Councilmembers Sue Himmelrich, Glean Davis and Kevin McKeown all reside in the North of Montana District (Number 3 on the map).

    The ordinance requires landlords to pay tenants from $2,900 to $4,500 for a no-cause eviction, a rent increase of 10% or more, a “substantial change” to the lease or a lease nonrenewal.

    Now, landlord groups that have sued to overturn the law hope they will prevail when the Oregon Court of Appeals hears the case in January, even as tenant advocates nationwide study the ordinance as a tool to prevent renter displacement.

    Attorneys for the plaintiffs in the voting rights lawsuit against the City asked the judge on Monday to adopt seven council districts and hold a special election in April.

    The real problem — some people work to get people informed, to bring them to their side, while others simply exploit that human failing to not think. When you have a ton of money to spend, you can create some pretty convincing lies.
