Guam - A lawsuit challenging the legality of the island's
upcoming plebiscite is scheduled for a scheduling conference this week in the
District Court. Dave Davis filed the
lawsuit against the Guam Election Commission and the Government of Guam because
he was not able to register to vote in plebiscite because he is not a native
inhabitant of Guam.
There has been some mention of a possible settlement but the
parties admit that such an action would require modification of the existing
registration system and the Legislature's approval to amend the current
structure of the plebiscite.
The scheduling conference is set for this Tuesday.
