President Trump tweeted on Wednesday (Dec. 9) that he would intervene in Texas’ case against the four swing states. He said that the Texas prosecution is so strong that America needs a victory!
“We’re going to be involved in Texas (plus many other states). It’s a big case. Our country needs a victory!” Kawakami said Wednesday.
President Trump did not provide details on Twitter about his involvement in the case, including whether his presidential campaign or the Justice Department would take action.
On Monday night (December 7), Texas filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court alleging that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin unconstitutionally changed election laws, failed to treat voters fairly, and relaxed measures governing ballot integrity that triggered major voting irregularities.
The Texas lawsuit asks the court to rule that the 2020 elections in the four states are unconstitutional; to prohibit the counting of votes cast by the electoral college in the four states; and, for defendant states that have already appointed electors, to direct state legislatures to constitutionally appoint new electors.
The Texas lawsuit quickly gained the support of many other states. Currently, the Attorneys General of Arkansas, Alabama, Missouri, and Louisiana have issued statements in support of the Texas lawsuit before the Supreme Court to preserve the integrity of the 2020 elections.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry urged the Supreme Court to take up the case filed by Texas, saying, “Ultimately, only the U.S. Supreme Court can decide cases that are truly controversial among the states under our Constitution.”
In a separate tweet Wednesday, Trump said the lawsuit being joined by Texas and other states is what everyone has been waiting for. “It’s strong and meets all the criteria,”
Trump said, “how can you (Biden) get the presidency when the vast majority of people think the election is rigged?”
The U.S. Supreme Court set a deadline of 3 p.m. on December 10 for the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, which have been sued by Texas for “unconstitutionality,” to file briefs before then.
