CYPRESS, Calif.—Cypress now faces two potential lawsuits after privately voting to reject new citywide election methods, and for refusing to release information from these private sessions on May 9.
Despite hundreds of cities in California agreeing to switch their city election methods to districts—voters choosing only one member who lives within their area—Cyress voted March 14 in closed session to continue allowing all residents to vote on all five seats despite threats of litigation.
