Alaska Drops 11 Voter Cases Against American Samoans After Court Ruling
x/alaskan
— 6h
Alaska prosecutors are dropping voter misconduct charges against American Samoa–born residents after a three-judge Alaska Court of Appeals ruled that prosecutors must prove consciousness of wrongdoing and intent to violate the law in erroneous voter registration forms, a finding that invalidated the Tupe Smith case and prompted review of remaining charges. The move affects 11 Whittier residents previously charged, with authorities citing flaws in the grand jury process and a state trooper’s questioning as part of the reason to concede there is insufficient proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

McKenna West, a surrogate who refused to terminate the pregnancy, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in a custody and medical-care dispute over a four-week-old baby with hypoplastic left heart syndrome born in Dallas, challenging California court orders that recognize the intended parents as the child's legal guardians. West argues she must be allowed to advocate for the child’s life-saving treatment amid a multi-state dispute, with Texas authorities having intervened to ensure care, highlighting surrogacy and abortion policy gaps across states.
