LaVista Hills Alliance Hires Chalmers Pak & Burch for Potential Cityhood Challenge – Media Coverage

Chalmers Pak & Burch LLC, has been retained by the LaVista Hills Alliance to explore options for a potential November 3 cityhood election challenge. The LaVista Hills Alliance announced Saturday that it may contest the election in court after allegations of voting irregularities and unsecured voting materials. If a judge finds that the alleged irregularities changed the election outcome, the results could be invalidated.

The LaVista Hills referendum, just 139 votes short of passing, would have created DeKalb county’s largest city, with over 66,000 residents.
