Is there a requirement to look at VAP or CVAP data under either the California or the Federal Voting Rights Acts?

Not in Thousand Oaks.

In some jurisdictions, an important Federal Voting Rights Act consideration arises where it is possible to draw a district that is majority-Latino (or majority any protected class) by CVAP. However no such district is possible in Thousand Oaks.

Remember that race and ethnicity can be one factor in the selection of a map, but it cannot be what courts term “the predominant” factor in the selection of a map.
