On Monday morning, February 22, the U.S. Supreme Court gave dismissal results to election lawsuits in several states left over from the presidential election.
One of the lawsuits was filed by Rep. Mike Kelly, who challenged the results of President Joe Biden‘s victory. Kelly had asked the Supreme Court to consider his lawsuit, which challenged the vote-by-mail policy in his Home state of Pennsylvania.
Kelly argued that Act 77, a 2019 state statute, violated the Constitution by authorizing a universal, no-excuses mail-in voting method.
The Supreme Court also dismissed a petition seeking review in Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Acting Pennsylvania Secretary of State DeGraffenreid.
Another case that was dismissed was a lawsuit filed by attorney L. Wood Wood against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger challenging Georgia’s elections and policies.
Ward, R-Ariz. vs. Jackson was also dismissed. The lawsuit challenged Biden’s victory in the state’s polls.
Trump‘s appeal of the Wisconsin results was dismissed. The case is Trump v. Biden. Another Wisconsin-related appeal, King v. Michigan Governor Whitmer, was also dismissed.
Earlier in January, the U.S. Supreme Court had announced that the agency was refusing to hear any cases regarding election controversies until Jan. 20. In December of last year, the case of Texas and 19 other states suing the 4 swing states for unconstitutionality was also dismissed in the high court.
