SALEM, MA The Republican challenger in the 2020 U.S. 6th Congressional District race is pushing forward in a lawsuit against the state over election results on the basis that the allowance of no-excuse, mail-in ballots, ballot drop boxes and early voting because of the coronavirus health crisis violated the state constitution.
John Paul Moran, who unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Democrat Seth Moulton, was one of five candidates who moved the lawsuit previously filed in federal court to state court on the advice of a federal judge, the candidates said.
