Evangelina “Bengie” Aguilar, Candy “Dulce” Gutierrez, Rogelino Montes, Susan Soto Palmer
The aforesaid Yakima County residents, who are LatinX, believe they do not have an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice or an equal opportunity to influence the outcome of an election because of alleged vote dilution and polarized voting.
