A group of state legislators and voters asked the Supreme Court on Thursday for permission to join Texas’s lawsuit challenging 2020 election results in four states.

Among the members listed in the request (pdf) are those who had previously filed lawsuits seeking to de-certify election results either in state or federal courts. These include several voters and Pennsylvania state legislators Daryl D. Metcalfe, Chris E. Dush, and Thomas R. Sankey III, whose lawsuit was dismissed by a state judge.

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.

Granted, I’m no Constitutional scholar — but I’m still confused as to how it would be possible for any of the Defendants to join with the Plaintiffs in litigation against themselves. Boy does my head hurt.

I am not sure either. Maybe they can join as individual citizens not in their official capacity. Still this is just layman’s speculation.

If the vote rules were changed without going through the proper channel of the Lawmakers, then it absolutely makes sense they would want to join Texas — and more power to them!

Michigan's legislature is run by Republicans, both the House and Senate.

Like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, they've had the power to remedy this all along...

But they're fearful of the consequences, which the thug left has made abundantly clear. It's past time for good people to fight fire with fire.

>the Defendants to join with the Plaintiffs in litigation against themselves

The executive branches of the defendant state are at fault here by changing the rules that the legislatures set forth.

Makes perfect sense to me that a legislator of the States in question would be an injured party — it’s their right to set the rules that was stolen here.
