Hey Kansas, think maybe you could join Texas, too?
And this eveining's news say eight other states have joined Texas.
Update: Eight additional states are reportedly joining the Texas lawsuit: Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota.
The Lone Star State is arguing that states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution by illegally changing their voting rules and procedures through courts or executive actions rather than lawfully through state legislatures. These states also violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution by implementing different voting rules and procedures in different areas within their own state borders, according to the lawsuit.
Last but not least, the lawsuit alleges that the aforementioned constitutional violations led to "voting irregularities" that resulted in fraudulent election results, which must be overturned in the interest of preserving free and fair elections in the United States.
And just like that, the number of other States is at seventeen; https://www.zerohedge.com/political/missouri-joins-texas-taking-election-fight-supreme-court
And looky there, Kansas is one of the States supporting Texas!!!
[And just like that, the Supreme Court denies the Texas lawsuit. SCOTUS does not care about the legal standing of nineteen States.]
The Supreme Court has denied a Texas effort Friday that would have essentially nullified the presidential elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin.
"The State of Texas's motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution," the Supreme Court's order reads. "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot."
The order does not foreclose any other pending or future election appeals at the Supreme Court, but time is running out. The states meet next week on Dec. 14 for the Electoral College exercise. And on Jan. 6 there will be a joint session of the House and Senate to count the electoral votes and certify President-elect Joe Biden as the winner.
