Texas Sues Multiple States Over Election

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.

Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors. The lawsuit says:

Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting. The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect—they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States. Those changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.

This case presents a question of law: Did the Defendant States violate the Electors Clause by taking non-legislative actions to change the election rules that would govern the appointment of presidential electors? These non-legislative changes to the Defendant States’ election laws facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.

Texas approached the Supreme Court directly because Article III provides that it is the court of first impression on subjects where it has original jurisdiction, such as disputes between two or more states.

    I have found the posts from Patriots4Truth to be totally honest and unbiased in a time in our world that is totally the opposite.

  7. Thumbs up to Texas. All fair States need to do the same thing. Why should thieves in another State deprive us honest states of our fair election results. Why is their illegal vote worth more than our honest ones. My choice in candidates have lost many times in my 48 some years of voting, but I have never been involved in such a crooked and illegal election as this last one. I am not willing to give up my country and all that it stands for to dishonest thieves.

    YOU GO TEXAS!! FILE THAT ABSOLUTELY “RIGHT ON” COMPLAINT ABOUT THE IRREGULARITY OF ELECTION PROCEDURES DONE BY KEY STATES TO GET MORE VOTES IN FOR BIDEN!!!!

    YES! HOORAY FOR TEXAS — finally a state with intelligence and anger coming forward to stop this madness! Go make your voices heard Texas!! Perhaps other states will follow suit until all the states will realize, “DAMN, WE GOT SCREWED BY A BUNCH OF NO GOOD CRIMINAL DEMOCRATS AND NEED TO “FIX” THIS NOW!”

    One can hope that the rest of our Country wakes up to what is happening here and fixes it before it can actually destroy our country. Come on Americans!! We ARE SMARTER than that!

    When something looks “wonky” like this whole Presidential election, you had better get angry and confront those responsible for making this mess — THAT WOULD BE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE FROM SOME OTHER NEFARIOUS NATIONS.

    Learn the truth and then get off your butts and do something about this before you LOSE YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR FREEDOMS, AND/OR YOUR LIVES! FIGHT BACK LIKE TEXAS! Show whoever is behind this take over of our Country, AMERICANS WILL FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOMS!!

    GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PATRIOT PEOPLE! The rest of the misfits in our Country can go live someplace else!!

  9. good for them,try and find the cheating bastards

    Amazing that Texas is involved in the affairs of these other states and their election. Needless to say, if these states infringed in a Texas issue, the Texans would be incensed. Trump is a big boy and is fighting and losing his battle in state and federal courts. Bloody amazing!!!

    This is why Texas rocks! Release the real Kraken.

  12. no mail in voiting after 1975 in france wake up usa only state leg make rules stop the news lies fox also save the usa nowjack

  13. Every one of those public officials who changed the rules in the middle of the game should go to jail. They thought the day were in more danger than all the rest of the United States and they were more priviledged than the rest of us. Every United States citizen Should be ashamed of those States in those people For letting this go on.
