Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the United States Supreme Court, according to the AG’s December 8 press release.
The Lone Star State’s top legal advisor alleges that the four states broke federal election laws by ignoring the role of the legislature in each state to choose electors and make election laws.
The Center Square reported attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina and South Dakota are also expected to join Texas in the lawsuit.
The Ohio Star contacted Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost to find out if Ohio will join.
The Star’s asked AG Yost’s office:
Will Attorney General Yost be signing Ohio on to the Texas case filed with the Supreme Court?
Or, will he file an amicus curiae brief? Both? Neither?
Why? Why not?
Bethany McCorkle, spokesperson for Yost, responded, “We are doing a deep dive into the legal theories and factual allegations in Texas and will make a decision once that is completed.”...

OH! Popcorn!
Nothing “deep” about it.
Elected non-legislative officials made changes to legislated laws.
According to their own State laws they do not have the authority to do that.
.
seems like this is another case, and not the TX case
can’t hurt, might help!!!!
If the USSC rules that administrative agencies can rewrite the laws of their state at will we may as well not have legislatures any longer.”
True. But it’s far far worse than that. We will officially have no Constitution.
The Constitution rarely calls out specific branches of state governments for specific purposes. But here is one of them, and I think in the requirement that states have republican forms of government it seems to impose some sort of legislature onto the states.
This is NOT a throwaway requirement in the Constitution, and the writers were fully aware of the ongoing constitutional dilemma of branches of government (and indeed departments) stepping into each other’s prerogatives. This is not a “modern” problem which can only be addressed by a Living Constitution. No. The Founders were well aware of this and they very intentionally said that ONLY STATE LEGISLATURES can make the rules about electors. Period, end of story. There can be no real debate here.
The only choice is The Constitution or to completely ignore it.
Thanks. Where and how did you find this and when did it come out? I am assuming it was some time today.
I don’t see it on the Ohio AG public website.
Or the rino Senate.
I stand corrected.
Yes, this is another case— a case filed by the Republican party of PA last month.
Still, I would think if Yost supported them he will end up filing an amicus brief in support of the Texas AG.
I was just listening to Bill the Bloviator O’Reilly. Mr. Know it all says this case is dead on arrival.
Other states joining the lawsuit shows that it is known that the fraud was widespread, but does it help the lawsuit to win?
What about Oklahoma and Iowa?
Probably depends on how much fraud Ohio was complicit in. Being as Trump won Ohio, they probably want to keep voter fraud hidden.
