Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin at Supreme Court over Election Rules
Breitbart ^ | Dec 7, 2020 | Joel B. Pollack

Posted on 12/08/2020 5:38:16 AM PST by demkicker

The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.

Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above.

one possibility is for the USSC to take the case and then hold off on any decision, leaving the electors contested. if the electors are contested, the electoral college cannot vote. if the the electoral college cannot vote, the matter goes before the house for a state by state caucus vote. at this point the majority R states could play hardball and vote to re-elect Trump.


I don’t see how “not deciding” would leave electors contested since they have already been certified. I’m not a legal expert in any way. I’d be quite happy if whatever happens results in pushing election to the house.

First, I'm not seeing the problem.

The Dem media is complaining? I thought their mission was to "Afflict the comfortable, and comfort the afflicted?"

Finally, a case that hits the nail on the head. People in states which do not sanction election fraud have a constutional right not to have the national leaders which their votes helped elect ousted by election fraud in states where non-legislative officials unconstitutionally replace legislative edicts with election rules which institutionalize cheating.

Hoping Alabama, North and South Dakota, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, Utah, and other states that solidly went for Trump join in on this action as well.

Yeah well, don't count on Ohio.. In my opinion DeWiney is a stinking RINO and a half.!

He is a closet never Trumper. His best buddy is John Kasich.

I still think they will rule that it is nonjusticeable under the political questions doctrine (as they should), but it’s at least a nice try.

I disagree. It is a process question.

There is a legally defined process for elections. The process was changed outside of the legal process for changing election law.

The illegal changes taint the results of the election.

We fought a Revolution and kicked a king’s ass for less than what is being done against us.

The Founding Fathers and Patriots of that time must be rolling over in their graves in such disgust at has been allowed to transpire: an orchestrated attempt at subvert the election process.

This isn't brilliant. It directly contradicts other lawsuits.

That's why it's brilliant. There are separate actions from separate parties with different standing. These parties are not required to be consistent with any other plaintiff.

The Court, however, is required to be consistent. This leaves one less corner for them to hide in.

I’m being a little lazy this morning, but if those states were thrown out, what does that do to the remaining electoral vote count?

The State Legislatures pick their state’s electors rather than the electors being chosen by the election outcome.

270 still applies.

Since the states legislatures in question are controlled by Republicans we can hope that they would choose Trump but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Politicians are notoriously cowardly.

Perfect. Just perfect. And put spur to them where necessary.

The Jay Sekulow show has only been talking about this case for their full hour.

They actually mentioned this possibility on their show yesterday, which they described as an “original jurisdiction” issue that could be filed by a state that had a clean election.

The overall premise is that the legally voting state has seen it’s votes “watered down” by states that did not conduct legal elections themselves.

Sekulow believes this case is not only strong, but wraps the whole Presidential fiasco conveniently into one case for the SCOTUS.

The other case, involving just judge Alito so far, is now far less likely to provide the overall remedy that we seek, and that case is actually somewhat contradictory with regard to the potential remedy of the Texas case.

So all eyes on this case, most probably for now.

You can watch the replay here:

He said they would come back on live of the SCOTUS took some action today.

Rush Limbaugh is talking about now.

Talking about it top of this hour also.

Getting excited about this tactic for the first time in several weeks when nothing else was working. Other states need to join in on this.
