The U.S. election is “climactic” because of election fraud, and after Texas accused four swing states of unconstitutional election processes on the 8th, President Trump and 17 states across the U.S. also joined Texas in the lawsuit. The state of Arizona has registered an amicus curiae with the federal Supreme Court to assist in the lawsuit.
Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton directly petitioned the federal Supreme Court for leave to sue, alleging that four swing states (Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) had illegally changed their vote-by-mail rules, asking the justices to prohibit the tabulation of a total of 62 electoral votes in four states.
Subsequently, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (D) led a 16-state effort that included Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia. filed briefs with the Supreme Court in support of the Texas lawsuit. Subsequently, Trump joined the lawsuit in his individual capacity, joining the 18 states as plaintiffs.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a motion to register an amicus curiae with the federal Supreme Court to assist in the lawsuit. This means that he is not a party to the lawsuit, but can provide information and legal interpretation to assist in the proceedings.
However, because the state is still in the midst of litigation issues in other swing states, the amicus curiae approach was adopted to avoid the controversy of direct joinder.
On Dec. 7, Arizona legislators and citizens rallied in Phoenix to protest the governor’s certification of Democratic candidate Biden as the winner despite significant evidence of election fraud. The lawmakers said they are promoting election integrity through laws and election procedures at all levels, the most immediate and feasible of which is to urge the governor to decertify and conduct a forensic audit of Arizona’s election process.
Previously, former U.S. federal prosecutor and prominent attorney Sidney Powell filed a lawsuit on behalf of several Trump supporters against the Arizona governor, secretary of state and other officials, alleging that the state had 412,000 illegal votes in the election and that Dominion voting machines were involved in fraud.
