Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from casting “unlawful and constitutionally tainted votes” in the Electoral College.<\/p>\n
In the suit, he claims that pandemic-caused changes to election procedures in those states have violated federal law, and asks the U.S. Supreme Court to block the states from voting in the Electoral College.<\/p>\n
Predictably, the Dems howl. Poetrooper sends.<\/p>\n
By Leah Barkoukis<\/strong><\/p>\n Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in the U.S. Supreme Court over unconstitutional changes to election laws. <\/p>\n \u201cThe four states exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election,\u201d a press release states. \u201cThe battleground states flooded their people with unlawful ballot applications and ballots while ignoring statutory requirements as to how they were received, evaluated and counted.\u201d<\/p>\n The defendant states made the 2020 election less secure, Texas argued in the lawsuit. \u201cThose changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures,\u201d the lawsuit states. \u201cThe acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the entire article here: Townhall<\/a><\/p>\n Steve Vladeck, professor at the University of Texas School of Law, opines,<\/p>\n “For all of the (many) lawsuits that President Donald Trump and his supporters have filed challenging the 2020 election results, the new winner for hubris and cynicism may be the action that the state of Texas filed directly in the Supreme Court late Monday night, asking the justices to throw out the results in four (but only four) battleground states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. So far, 17 states have filed motions backing the Texas attorney general, and Trump has asked the Supreme Court to let him join the lawsuit, as well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read more of professor Vladeck here: NBC News<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks, Poe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
