A group of Tucson Republicans is suing the city, claiming its system for electing city council members violates voters’ 14th Amendment rights.
The suit was filed Monday in federal court by the Public Integrity Alliance, Republican national committeeman Bruce Ash, former Pima County Board of Supervisor candidates Fernando Gonzales and Ann Holden, and former Tucson City Council candidates Lori Oien and Ken Smalley.
They are asking a judge for an injunction to block the city from holding this year’s city council elections under the current rules.
