The state of Texas filed a motion in support of the lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court on Dec. 11 after recently suing four swing states. The papers say the four defendant states have not addressed the serious issues mentioned in the Texas lawsuit, but instead have attempted to evade and cover up.
Texas filed the lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court on the evening of Dec. 7, alleging that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan unconstitutionally changed their election statutes, treated voters unequally and relaxed safeguards for election integrity, thus triggering massive election irregularities.
The lawsuit alleges that the four swing states violated the legislature and, in turn, the U.S. Constitution.
The four defendant states filed briefs with the Supreme Court on Dec. 10 asking it to dismiss Texas’ lawsuit. Pennsylvania’s attorney general says Texas violated constitutional democratic principles; Wisconsin says Texas cannot allege that Wisconsin’s practices directly harmed Texas.
In Texas’ latest response, dated Dec. 11 (click here to view), the Texas attorney general and the state’s other prosecutors said that instead of seriously addressing the serious election issues raised by Texas, the four defendant states are attempting to use a court decision in which Texas has no role to play as a cover-up and misinterpret the legal protections Texas is seeking and their justification.
They say the (Supreme) Court should issue an injunction because the defendant states do not and cannot justify their actions.
Texas did not seek a new election in its lawsuit before the Supreme Court, nor did it seek to abolish the voter ballot.
“Texas asks the Supreme Court to find the following obvious facts – that the defendant states malfeasance in the 2020 general election left the public with no way to know which candidate won a majority of the legitimate votes.” The Texas attorney said, “Failure to act is tantamount to disenfranchising voters in the same way that the four defendant states did. (The Supreme Court) should act immediately to require lower courts, as well as states and their officials, to comply with state election statutes in future elections, and that any changes to election laws prior to the general election be approved by the legislature.”
The Texas lawsuit sparked a backlash from 39 state attorneys general across the country, with 18 states supporting Texas and 20 supporting the defendant states.
In addition, Citizens United, the Citizens United Foundation and The Presidential Coalition filed motions Dec. 11 asking permission to file briefs in support of Texas. The three groups say Texas has been harmed and should seek protection and compensation.
