Eric Schmitt, the attorney general from Missouri, announced on Twitter late Tuesday that his state is “in the fight” after Texas announced its election challenge that would invalidate the 62 Electoral College votes from four battleground states and award President Trump with a second term.
“Election integrity is central to our republic,” Schmitt, a Republican, tweeted. “And I will defend it at every turn. As I have in other cases—I will help lead the effort in support of Texas’ #SCOTUS filing today. Missouri is in the fight.”
Schmitt’s tweet came shortly after Ken Paxton, the attorney general from Texas, explained his motivation behind the suit to Fox News’ ‘Hannity.’
He said that election management in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—the states named in the suit—directly impacted voters in the his state. In particular, he pointed to changes that were made to expand mail-in voting amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Thank you.
Far too many headlines are written stating that people, entities, etc. support something, yet no specific names are listed. What a waste of print, and how typical of the poor journalism we see these days.
Thanks for the clarification. If SCOTUS rules for Texas, then the remedy is it goes to the House. Got it.
Many thanks
Go SEC!!!
“Keep telling yourself that.”
Prove me wrong.
It keeps growing.
It keeps growing.
It’s being reported South Dakota is involved, if that’s a mistake I hope at least one more state will join. Would be great to have a number in the double digits.
And how can we depend on a Pelosi-led House to come up with a remedy even remotely legal or Constitutional?
By joining the lawsuit do they mean file an “amicus brief” or is there another way to enjoin the actual lawsuit?
Sorry, but this is limit of my knowledge of the law.
Fortunately, it’s not up to her in the least.
Each STATE in the House gets a single vote. They count the number of R delegations, and the number of D delegations. The winner is the one with the most delegations.
It’s that straightforward.
UNLESS the winner is simply whoever has a majority of electoral votes cast.
If the SC throws out these four states, Biden still leads in certified electoral votes 244-232. IF it is the case that the winner needs a simple majority of votes cast, then Trump still needs one state to flip. All 4 states require the governor to call a special legislative session in order for the legislatures to vote on electors. NONE of the four have any interest in doing so! We could see the SC give us what we want - decertify all 4 states - and still see Fraudulent Biden! All that is required is the 4 states do nothing.
I’m glad Florida joined. I wish Ohio would. A question for everyone, though: If the lawsuit brought by these ten states is based upon the four states not acting within their state Constitutions, could not those four states try to cite evidence of the ten doing the same thing? I don’t know if the ten did or not, but the drive-through voting in Houston comes to mind. Was that Constitutional in Texas?
Surely, one of them would do something.
Well, yes,but those delegations do have to vote, I think. Each gets one vote.
I am not so sure you are right about that. I have never heard an argument stating that a simple majority of electoral votes wins. I am more inclined to think that it goes to the House.
Sort of. They aren’t allowed to ‘vote conscience’.
That would be the next legal battle, is it a fixed majority of 538, or a majority of valid electors? I don't know which it is, either.
Idaho? Utah? Wyoming? North Dakota? Kansas? Oklahoma? Alaska? Our friends in the West are dragging ass.
I think that the PA case was not expedited (it wasn’t thrown out from what I understand) is because by itself it wouldn’t change the outcome from a Biden victory — so there’s no corrective action possible. Instead they take the case that theoretically would make a difference by changing the election outcome.
