On June 28, some law professors filed this amicus curiae brief in Segovia v United States, 17-1463. This is the case that challenges federal law and Illinois law that says U.S. citizens who move to Guam, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands lose their ability to vote, yet if the same voters moved to American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, or a foreign country, they could continue to vote absentee in Illinois elections.
Another set of law professors had already filed. Both sets of professors are on the side of the voters who brought the lawsuit.
The U.S. Supreme Court earlier had asked the government to file a brief, defending its policy. The brief of the government defendants had been due June 28, but the government asked for another month, so now the government briefs are due at the end of July.
