The court found prosecutors misled the grand jury by providing an incorrect definition of “intentionally” and misrepresented how Smith was advised to check the citizenship box — she believed it was necessary to vote in local elections. While Smith expressed relief and felt vindicated, she warned this could be just the beginning, as nearly a dozen others in Whittier face similar charges. The ruling may lead to dropped cases or renewed prosecutions, highlighting the legal gray areas surrounding voting rights for U.S. nationals from territories like American Samoa.
