1. Fraud is not alleged in the TX lawsuit - it is SOLELY based upon the fact that the defendant states altered their election procedures without their state legislatures being involved - which is required as part of the US Constitution.

2. WRT “disenfranchising millions of voters,” - well, that’s EXACTLY why Texas is suing, because the 4 defendant states are the ones which, by their improper changes to their election laws, have ACTUALLY disenfranchised millions of voters - specifically, those of TX and every other state which voted for Donald Trump. Further, THEY have, if any entity or person has, disenfranchised their own voters. You cannot murder your parents and then legitimately throw yourself upon the mercy of the Court because you’re an orphan, and that is essentially what the responses of the 4 defendant states have indicated.

2a) The voters of those states will NOT - repeat NOT - disenfranchise anyone. TX is asking for the SCOTUS to forbid the certification of these states, and to thus mandate (because that’s what the Constitution says must be done) that the legislatures of those states decide who those states’ Electors will be. Thus, through their legislators, the people of those states who legitimately voted will NOT be disenfranchised, but instead have their own elected representatives choose the Electors, and thus they will have had a voice. Now, what the legislatures choose to consider - perhaps and probably including efforts to fraudulently change the results of the Presidential election in their states - when deciding who to choose as Electors is their business and concern.

I dont’ think this is true.
I read part of it... and Fraud IS claimed AS A RESULT of the unconstitutional actions taken.

Otherwise there could be no damage if there is no fraud.

You Need to go read the suit.
