U.S. District Court Keeps Pennsylvania Lawsuit Over Special Legislative Election Alive

On January 23, a U.S. District Court in Philadelphia issued a 79-page ruling in Acosta v Democratic City Committee (formerly known as Little v Vasquez), e.d., 2:17cv-1462. This lawsuit was filed last year after serious irregularities in the special state house special election in the 197th district came to light. This is the special election in which the only candidate listed on the ballot was the Republican nominee, but the Democratic Party and the Green Party both had strong write-in campaigns. The Democratic write-in candidate won, but his opponents filed a lawsuit alleging that polling place officials actively worked to discourage any votes to be cast unless they were for the Democratic nominee.

The decision keeps the case alive, and clears away many procedural obstacles, but it requires the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint, and finds that they should not sue any state officials.

  1. The 11th Amdt has, as usual, been mystified and perverted by the SCOTUS MORONS,

    1787 USA Const Art III, Section 2. The [USA] judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, *** between a State and Citizens of another State *** and between a State*** and foreign *** Citizens or Subjects.

    AMENDMENT XI
    The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.

    It only means that the Fed courts do NOT have jurisdiction of alleged violations of STATE law by citizens of other States and foreign regimes AGAINST a STATE — as a fictional person – property owner, contract person, employer, etc. — ie — have to go to a State court regarding any such violations of STATE law by such State.
