On November 22, the plaintiffs filed this brief in Barja v Nago, 1:20cv-433. This is the case over whether U.S. citizens who move from a state to Guam should be permitted to continue voting absentee in their former state. When U.S. citizens move to a foreign country, they are permitted to continue voting absentee in their last residence within the U.S. But when they move to Guam, they cannot do that. The case is filed in the U.S. District Court of Hawaii, because that is the former residence of the plaintiff-voters.

This case was formerly styled Reeves v Nago.

On November 30, a California Republican national committeewoman, who is also an attorney, filed a lawsuit in the California Supreme Court to direct the California Redistricting Commission to stop holding unpublicized meetings.

Florida held primaries for U.S. House, 20th district, on November 2. This is for a special election to fill a seat that has been vacant since April 6, 2021. On November 24, the Democrat who placed second in that primary filed a lawsuit, alleging that the winner is not eligible.

The lawsuit is in Broward County Circuit Court, and alleges that the winner, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, is not eligible because (1) she didn’t file a campaign finance report; (2) she campaigned on a promise to work for an additional $1,000 federal stimulus check for all taxpayers, and the lawsuit says this is equivalent to trying to bribe the voters. The lawsuit, filed by candidate Dale Holness (who placed second) also says that election officials improperly refused to count 12 overseas absentee ballots. No one know whether the result would change if those 12 ballots were counted. The margin between the two candidates is only five votes.

The special election is set for January 11, 2022.
