Is this legit? Just read only one state joined...So much misinformation out there ...so damn confusing! I hate this freakin rollercoaster ride ... Getting seasick! So what’s the truth? It’s getting extremely emotionally exhausting.
Sounds like states are joining by the hour.
Honestly it makes sense, if for no other reason than the state AGs, and Governors getting everyone on the same page as they commit to the case.
People don’t like surprises, you know, and they also want to feel like they had their say.
Stay tuned tomorrow. As someone else was saying, it would be fun to see the “center” states - TX, OK, KS, NE, SD, and ND in solidarity, tomorrow. Throw in AR, LA, and AL and that’s a big contiguous chunk of red.
It’s just gonna take more time for some states than others. Hats off to Texas, though for showing smart leadership in the first place.
As of this morning Louisiana was the only state to join with Texas. By the afternoon, seven more stepped up. And I would venture a safe bet that by tomorrow many more will join in as well.
This Texas case has original jurisdiction and goes straight the SC without going through appeals from lower courts. More importantly, this case is what is called "outcome determinative" meaning when the court decides, that's it. The four states named in the complaint will have to select the electors by the legislatures themselves because the state violated their own constitution in conducting the election, which is required by the US Constitution.
This may be the case that breaks the log jam and clears the way for Trump to win his second term legally.
None of this is going to move at a snail's pace because the electors vote on Dec. 14th, next Tuesday. Time is of the essence.
