More state attorneys general from other states are likely to join Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against four states – filed with the U.S Supreme Court on Tuesday – if the court agrees to hear the election-related case.
Seventeen states filed a motion Wednesday backing Texas’ longshot legal effort to get the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn election results in four states that helped deliver the presidency to Democrat Joe Biden.
Missouri’s attorney general filed the amicus brief in support of Texas, joined by counterparts from 16 other states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.
Attorney Lin Wood also claims that Florida will join Texas in their legal effort to fight the alleged voter fraud!
Paxton’s lawsuit accuses the other four states of making unlawful changes to their election policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a “massive opportunity for fraud.”
Texas is asking the justices to block those four states’ 62 electors from casting ballots on Monday when the Electoral College meets to formalize Biden’s 306-232 win – in effect, asking the court to set aside 10.4 million Biden ballots.
The case is now SUPREME COURT DOCKET!

Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump tweeted that he would join Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit, which effectively asks the high court to negate 10.4 million ballots from voters who picked Biden over Trump in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Officials in those states called the lawsuit a baseless stunt. The Supreme Court has given them until 3 p.m. Thursday to file responses.
President Trump said on Wednesday that he would be “intervening” in a lawsuit filed by the state of Texas against the states of Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which asks the Supreme Court to prevent those states from participating in the Electoral College vote Monday, but legal experts say there is very little chance the suit will succeed.
“The case that everyone has been waiting for is the State’s case with Texas and numerous others joining,” the president tweeted Wednesday morning, calling the case “very strong” and the “big one” that will deliver him a second term in the White House.
Only the Supreme Court has jurisdiction in controversies between state governments. The court has signaled little interest in second-guessing state election procedures after the fact, though.
Which states will join this lawsuit?
Scroll down to leave a comment below.
Florida’s already joined... as well as 15 other states. Or is this something more?
I don’t see how the Supreme Court can duck this.
Florida has already joined...!!...17 states so far!
This has to be something new. FL joined yesterday
Ultimately neither Florida nor Texas has any say-so on how any other state chooses to conduct its presidential election. We cannot destroy the Tenth Amendment in order to save it.
17 states!! Woo hoo! Col. Allen West said he hoped for 10.
“Officials in those states called the lawsuit a baseless stunt.”
This is really biased. More accurate
A few Democrat officials in those states claimed, without any evidence, the lawsuit was a baseless stunt.
States modified their election procedures in violation of their own constitutions, disenfranchising voters in other states.
Wrong
The state’s that will make up The New America.
But temporary collateral damage is necessary to win any battle, and right now we HAVE to win this battle if we are to save America.
“fight the alleged voter fraud”
...let’s cut the “alleged” BS out. Thousands of affidavits, video footage, forensic evidence on the voter machines. Come on man!
Bill O’Reilly just said that that Scotus won’t even hear the case. So I guess that’s it because Bill knows it all. Blowhard.
Hopefully this will put enough fear into the SC to do the right thing, rather than ignoring it because of their fear of the enemy, the Chi-Com allies within this country.
Question: Do more states joining the suit have a substantive affect or is it mainly symbolic?
Even Red State doesn't get it. The problem is that a potentially large portion of those “voters” do not “exist.”
It is unlawful to change the approach to elections by fiat. It must be done through each states’ Congress.
Insisting that a state follow its own rules and the US Constitution is not interfering, it is supporting the rule of law.
The states in question used NON-legislative means to alter the way the election took place. The US Constitution is quite clear that such decisions and rule making are for THE LEGISLATURE ALONE!
Not the governor, not the bureaucrats, not some committee, THE LEGISLATURE.
