Igartua De La Rosa v. United States

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided August 17, 1994No. 94-1174PublishedCited by 61 opinions

1Per curiam

Appellant residents of Puerto Rico allege that their inability to vote in the United States presidential election violates their constitutional rights. Some appellants, who previously voted in presidential elections while residing elsewhere but who are now ineligible to vote in those elections, also challenge the constitutionality of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1973ff et seq. The district court dismissed appellants’ request for declaratory and injunctive relief for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. We summarily affirm.
