On December 11, the Eighth Circuit heard arguments in Libertarian Party of Arkansas v Thurston, 19-2503. Here is a Courthouse News Service story about the oral argument.
On December 11, a state trial court in South Carolina issued a ruling in Inglis v Heindel, civ 2019-cp-400-5486. The judge ruled in favor of the South Carolina Republican Party, on the issue of whether the party must hold a presidential primary in 2020. The party’s executive committee had voted not to hold a primary. Some Republican voters had sued, because the party’s rules say only a party convention can make that decision, but that argument did not prevail. See this story.

On December 11, the U.S. Supreme Court moved the conference date for the Washington state presidential electors lawsuit from December 13, 2019, to January 10, 2020. The Colorado case on the same subject had already been set on January 10, 2020. So, not surprisingly, the Court will consider both of them simultaneously.
