On Thursday, 20 states have backed the Texas Supreme Court lawsuit, according to the National File, which reported that “42 percent of Americans will sue 8 percent of Americans. “
With the addition of Wyoming and Ohio today, a total of 21 states – including Texas – have signed or sought to sign on to the Supreme Court lawsuit challenging elections in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, the report said.
Since Texas filed its lawsuit, more than 20 states have joined or expressed interest in joining.
As it stands, the following states are seeking Supreme Court relief for the Nov. 3 election.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, West Virginia and Florida.
According to Media Right News, late last night, the Idaho Republican Party rejected an amicus brief filed by the state attorney general, who is also a Republican, asking to intervene in the lawsuit.
Wyoming announced this morning that it may intervene in the lawsuit, and state lawmakers sent a letter to the governor requesting that the state attorney general intervene.
Wyoming lawmakers indicated that formal involvement is imminent, with Wyoming Sen. Beau Bittman writing, “The governor responded to my email within minutes and asked the attorney general to look into the matter. Stay tuned!
Similarly, last night Ohio Rep. Al Cutrona (R) and other lawmakers have urged the state’s attorney general to immediately seek to join the Texas lawsuit.
“It is time for us to take a stand to protect our Constitution.” Cutrona wrote.” As a legislator, as an American, as an Ohioan, I am upholding my duty.”
So far, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has remained neutral, but urged the Supreme Court to act quickly on the matter.
In Iowa, Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds told the media that her state has not been invited to participate because the state’s attorney general is a Democrat. She said she has asked her legal team to contact her office.
Similarly, there are reports that at least one elected official is seeking to participate in the lawsuit, even though Georgia itself is named in the lawsuit.
