Texas Case Challenges Election Directly at Supreme Court

[srothstein]

I like this. Unfortunately, and I am not a lawyer nor an expert in this area, I see a single problem with it. Texas may not have standing for the lawsuit since it is not an injured party. I really want to see this case go through and it is asking for a remedy the courts could order. It is not asking for a specific winner to be determined, just that the legislature be ordered to choose the electors. This might not make a difference to the election overall, as the legislatures could appoint the Biden electors, "bowing to the expressed will of the people" anyway. But I like the concept and the case argument.

So simple I understand it.

Ted Cruz offered to argue it before SCOTUS.

The easier to be dismissed for lack of standing. If I understand correctly, Alito will be the one handling initial review on this.

Paxton writes:

“The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution. By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections,”

So I read that to be the “injured party”. IANAL of course.

I wonder if the same logic then shoots the NPV (National Popular Vote) movement down as well.

Texas is claiming otherwise: "By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.”"

Thanks. I did not see the claims by Paxton. I am not sure that will hold up in court but I will certainly hope it works.

It would be interesting to see other Trump states begin to roll out similar suits.

Reuters says our Wall Street owners and the Communist Chinese Party are already celebrating their victory in defeating the democratic process and USA. Don't mess with their mojo

Today's decision in the similar (if not stronger) case from Pennsylvania does not bode well for this suit. It appears likely that SCOTUS is going to set this one out.

Apparently Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and South Dakota have joined Texas in the lawsuit.
