Gainesville doesn’t intend to negotiate with the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials to avoid a lawsuit, Mayor Danny Dunagan said. GALEO plans to file a lawsuit by mid-September, the group’s officials announced last week, because they want the city to change its at-large voting system. It asserts the city’s election system violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
