Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt will sign a court brief with other Republican attorneys general arguing in favor of a GOP lawsuit challenging mail-in ballots before the U.S. Supreme Court, a spokesman said Sunday.
The lawsuit by the Pennsylvania Republican Party protests the state Supreme Court’s decision to allow mail-in ballots three additional days to arrive, arguing the extension violates federal law and the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court already turned away one GOP bid to quickly block the extension before the election, but the GOP has petitioned for a second review.
A spokesman for Schmitt’s office on Sunday confirmed the attorney general has joined the Republican Association of Attorneys General in filing an amicus brief, or legal argument that can be filed by someone who isn’t a party in the case, but has an interest in the outcome. Schmitt’s spokesman would not release more details.
The association, which is chaired by Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, said in a statement that it would announce the brief in a press conference Monday including Schmitt and attorneys general from Oklahoma and Kentucky.
“The Republican AGs are already stepping up to the frontlines as ‘America’s insurance policy’ against the possibility of a Biden-Harris Administration and their liberal extremist agenda,” the Association wrote in a news release.
The lawsuit is among a flurry of legal actions in several battleground states filed by Republicans and President Donald Trump’s campaign to challenge a vote count — despite no evidence of widespread vote fraud — declaring Democrat Joe Biden the next president of the U.S. Many involve changes to normal procedures because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 230,000 people in the U.S. and infected more than 9 million.

...despite no evidence of widespread vote fraud...
LOL!
“Er, uh, uh, call it WIDESPREAD vote fraud. Yeah, that sounds scarier. We’ll all do that. Yeah, then we can show clean votes in a few locations where we didn’t cheat and disprove it all. Yeah. Yeah, that’ll work.”
There probably is “widespread” vote fraud. But it doesn’t have to be, for the Presidential election.
The Trump election is actually several specifically selected locations of Targeted Vote Fraud. At a minimum.
I hope he takes the mask off and just joins the other side and show what a traitor he is. Let Clarence Thomas be the one that decides who writes it
Exactly, if it is what we suspect it could be a 9-0 decision.
It's a possibility. Breyer is liberal but tends to be the old-school, Pat Moynihan, honest-liberal type.
Do you think those in the minority will care if the court is expanded?
“A Stitch in time saved 9” all over again
Up until this point I thought it was a serious article.
I think you will be wrong about Breyer ever doing the right thing by following the Constitution. He’s drunk the Kool-Aid too long, and was thoroughly indoctrinated before he ever became a Federal Judge. He would have never risen to his current status if his allegiance to leftist dogma was remotely in question.
The next stage is “well, there may be be fraud, but we can’t overturn an entire election because of some isolated incidents.”
Good luck doing that in Philly, Milwaukee, Detroit and Metro Atlanta....
Look at Breyer’s part in Bush v Gore. There were 7 votes for part of it, including Breyer on the issue of treating all votes equally. The mail-in ballots were not treated equally to votes that were overseen.
DEFINE WIDESPREAD
