Fayette nears voting case settlement

Fayette County has been locked in a legal fight since 2011 with the NAACP and a group of black residents over how county government leaders are elected.

The lengthy court fight could be winding down now. This week, the school board agreed to settle and adopt a new district map. Learn more about the case here.
