The July 20 issue of the Richmond Times-Dispatch has this story about one of the two pending lawsuits against the Virginia residency requirement for petition circulators. The case described in the article is Lux v Rodrigues, 3:10-cv-482, filed July 13 in federal court in Richmond. The article does not mention there a similar case was filed in federal court in Alexandria on June 3 by the Libertarian Party. That case is Libertarian Party of Virginia v State Board of Elections, 1:10-cv-615.
During the past ten years, lawsuits against residency requirements for circulators have won in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They have lost in North Dakota. During the last ten years, constitutional lawsuits on this issue have probably given more relief to minor party and independent candidates than constitutional lawsuits on any other issue.

i.e. the U.S.A. government is a *super-national* limited government for the joint benefit of the 50 nation-states.
