On February 11, the lawsuit Adeli v Virginia Department of Elections, Circuit Court, City of Richmond, Virginia, was settled. The agreement allows Democrats seeking a place on the June 2021 primary ballot, who are running for the Virginia legislature, to use electronic signatures. See this story, which has a copy of the consent decree.

This is a separate case from the earlier Goldman case, which cut the number of signatures for all statewide candidates (primary and general) from 10,000 to 2,000. This new Adeli case only applies to Democrats. Efforts are being made to expand the relief to Republicans, independents, and the nominees of unqualified parties.
