Padilla v. Lever (2006)

9th Circuit Court of Appeals
6/22/2006, C-SPAN Program ID: 193153-1

From C-SPAN's Description:

The full panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Padilla v. Lever over allegations that Orange County, California, election officials violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by not providing petitions in both English and Spanish for the recall of a Santa Ana Unified District school board member. In November 2005, a Ninth Circuit three-judge panel ruled that Orange County election officials violated the bilingual requirements of the Voting Rights Act.
