A Paradox of the U.S. Election System is that U.S. Adult Citizens who Live in Foreign Countries are Permitted to Vote in U.S. Elections, in the State in which they lived before they moved Abroad.
But if U.S. Adult Citizens move to a U.S. Possession, they can’t Vote in the State in which they Lived before Moving to the Possession.
Many Lawsuits have been Filed to Upset this System.
A New One was Filed on October 8th in U.S. District Court in Hawsaii, by Six Voters who now Live in Guam. Reeves v Nago, 1:20cv-433.
A somewhat Similar Lawsuit Won in U.S. District Court in Utah last year.
However, the U.S. District Court Judge, Stayed his Own Opinion while the Federal Government Appealed to the Tenth Circuit, Fitisemanu v USA, 20-4017.
That Case was Argued on September 23rd, 2020, and No Decision has been Issued yet.
