JUNEAU, Alaska (KTUU) - The state of Alaska has joined 19 other states in supporting Texas’ challenge to presidential election results in the Supreme Court. The Texas attorney general filed the lawsuit on Tuesday, seeking to overturn the results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that saw President-elect Joe Biden win the Nov. 3 election. The Department of Law says that the state of Alaska signed on in support of a brief on Thursday.

The New York Times writes that the attorneys general from those four battleground states filed court documents, strongly denouncing the attempts to overturn the presidential election results. At least 20 state attorneys general are in opposition to the Texas lawsuit.

It would take at least five justices to approve hearing the case, the Supreme Court rejected a request earlier in the week from Pennsylvania Republicans to block certification of the commonwealth’s election results.

Electoral College electors are set to meet on Dec. 14 to formally elect Biden as the next president of the United States.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy said that the state of Alaska supports the effort to examine the results in those four battleground states and wants an expedited decision from the Supreme Court. He said the decision to support the Texas attorney general’s case came down to election integrity.

“I agree with the attorney general that the integrity of this election is a critical bedrock principle of our republican form of government,” the governor said. “There are too many critical questions that need to be answered to give the American people confidence that their vote counts.”

The more states that join the Texas lawsuit, the better it is.

Wyoming not joined yet. May be Liz Cheney the neocon hates Trump more than she likes the country. Like father like daughter!

What exactly are the liberal states contending? That it is OK for individual counties and cities to ignore state laws and commit all the fraud they want?

So strange that Wyoming hasn’t joined. I believe Trump won by the largest margin in that state.

// ...lawsuit on Tuesday, > seeking to overturn the results < in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that saw President-elect Joe Biden win the Nov. 3 election... //

Wrong terminology. We are not “seeking to overturn results” but rather to accurately and ONLY count each > legitimate < ballot & vote.

Expected from fake news, but I see this even from our side, and it is woefully inaccurate & inflammatory. We repeatedly give ground in this way. Words mean things.

Apparently yes. Doesn’t that just about make you want to hurl? It sure does me.

Makes me glad in a way that my parents are no longer living. Dad died in 1982 (way before his time — lung cancer) and Mom died in 2019. Thankfully they don’t have to see what we’re currently seeing.

We lived in Juneau from '82-'07 and if all elections were conducted like Alaska, we would not be in this current crapstorm.
Picture ID plus your voter registration card were required and you then signed a ledger next to your name and address before voting.

So, could they have filed separately or was joining the best option for speed. Would SCOTUS have had to address each one on their own merit? Will they even hear the case? Does untrustworthy CJ roberts decide?

If the Supreme Court does not agree to take the Texas case and decide it Texas and Trump’s favor, all the justices should be impeached.

Unfortunately that would require control of the house, and the commiecrats cheated their way to control of that already.

“Like father like daughter!”

Daddy was a VP with mega-globalist Bush. So yes, your statement is quite valid.

Is the Supreme Court going to punt?

That one lady (Hollywood Conservative) is reporting they will.

Please, dear Lord, don't let evil win.
