💨 Abstract

The U.S. Justice Department has withdrawn a lawsuit against Hazleton, Pennsylvania, a city with a predominantly Hispanic population, over allegations of illegally diluting the political power of Hispanics. The lawsuit, filed under President Joe Biden, accused the city's at-large system of electing city council members of being unfair to Hispanic voters and violating the federal Voting Rights Act.
