On September 2, U.S. District Court Judge Jill Otake issued an order in Boria v Nago, a Hawaii case, 1:20cv-433. This is the lawsuit filed in 2020 by U.S. citizens who formerly lived in Hawaii, who now live in either Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands. If they lived in a foreign country they could vote in Hawaii by absentee vote. But because of certain federal laws, because they live in a U.S. territory, they cannot vote absentee in Hawaii elections.
The judge ruled that the procedural objections to the lawsuit are without merit. This likely means that in the near future, she will declare the federal laws that prohibit the voters from voting to be unconstitutional under the 5th and 14th amendments. Thanks to Michael Richardson for this news.
Another reason why the remaining insular territories should become associated states, like Micronesia and Palau.
CHANGING RESIDENT STATUS HAS LEGAL EFFECTS.
NATION-STATE ***ALLEGIANCE*** STATUS SHOULD N-O-T CHANGE >>> REQUIRES NATURALIZATION PROCESS.
What about the Stewart Islands of the Kingdom of Hawai’i.
The are part of the State of Hawai’i because they were added at a meeting of the PC with the Fourth Kamehameha.

How many island regimes come and gone in last zillion years ???
esp conquered by continent regimes ???
Maybe Hawaii could become an associated state. Then, they wouldn’t be subject to the Jones Act, and could accept shipping from anywhere. That could bring down the cost of living in Hawaii.
And maybe then they could have a referendum to restore the monarchy, too.
Hawaii – Panama – Puerto Rico
USA pincer – held hostage ???
Walter Ziobro,
What does the Jones Act have to do with this post?

Jones Act — One more stop competition law.
“What does the Jones Act have to do with this post?”
The Jones Act is disadvantageous to all insular territories. In makes the cost of living higher in those places.
And, to add insulate to injury, the inability of citizens resident in insular territories to vote in federal elections limits their ability to do anything about it.
AND, the Jones Act also contributes to the high cost of living in Hawaii, even tho it is a state.
Glad to see that Demo Rep reads CATO publications.
We must act to remove deep state saboteurs Andy Jones and Alex Jones before it’s too late. Somethings happened and you don’t know what it was, do you Mr Jones?
