U.S. District Court Judge Amy Totenberg will preside over a trial starting on Tuesday, January 9, in Curling v Totenberg, n.d., 1:17cv-02989.  This is the case filed in 2017 by Georgia voters who believe the Georgia vote-counting machines in most counties are not reliable and fail to create a practical means to have a recount.  Most states have machines that leave a clear audit trail, but Georgia still does not, even though he has improved its machines somewhat during the life of the lawsuit.  See this story.

On January 4, a Wyoming state trial court dismissed the lawsuit Newcomb v Gray, Albany District Court, 2023-cv-0036100.  This is a lawsuit to keep former President Donald Trump off the November ballot.  The judge said the case is premature, and could be filed later.  See this story.

Georgia permits larger donations to the campaigns of Republicans and Democrats (who are running for Governor or Lieutenant Governor) than to other candidates.  The Georgia Libertarian Party is currently challenging that discriminatory policy in the Eleventh Circuit.

The judges recently asked both sides to submit a supplemental letter brief on whether the case is now moot, because the 2022 election is over.  Here is the Document submitted by the Libertarian Party on January 5.

Here is the state’s Document.
