Still Fighting Dismissal Over Marion Soldiers' Home Voting
Still fighting the motion to dismiss the suit seeking to exclude the Marion soldiers' home from Grant County voting precincts, Greene Smith filed in supreme court on Wednesday. The brief argues the rescission act, which ceded back government land to state jurisdiction, is unconstitutional as the government cannot cede territory it still uses. Complainants admit if the land belongs to the government the commissioners have no right to divide it into precincts, and the state court must rule on the federal constitutional issue.
