On July 16, a U.S. District Court heard a case challenging the practice of New Hampshire election officials, relative to absentee mail ballots. The practice is to discard such ballots, without telling the voter, if the official believes the voter’s signature on the ballot envelope doesn’t match the voter’s signature on the voter registration application. The case is Saucedo v New Hampshire Secretary of State, 1:17cv-183. See this story.

The case is before U.S. District Court Judge Landya McCafferty, an Obama appointee.

The Billings Gazette here editorializes that the Montana Supreme Court ought to hear the Green Party’s ballot access appeal.

Three of the four Washington State Democratic presidential electors who voted for someone other than Hillary Clinton in the electoral college in December 2016 — faithless electors — have asked the State Supreme Court to hear their appeal. They were each fined $1,000, and they maintain the fine is unconstitutional. The case is Chiafalo v State, 95347-3.

All of the other cases filed on this topic have been in federal court. The Minnesota case is pending in the 8th circuit; the Colorado case is pending in the 10th circuit; the California elector already lost in U.S. District Court on standing and didn’t appeal.

Here is the electors’ brief in the Washington State Supreme Court, filed in May 2018.
