Legal Battle Over Voting Rights Act Compliance
Laguna Niguel, along with other South Orange County cities, faces legal challenges for allegedly violating the California Voting Rights Act.

However, they have yet to pay the attorney fees for the lawsuit, leading to further legal disputes. The case underscores the ongoing efforts to ensure fair representation in local elections.
