In summary, on the day before, attorney generals in 17 states, including Missouri, Arkansas, Florida, and Indiana, declared their support for the presidential invalidation lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton the day before the Supreme Court.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmidt argued in a related statement that “we are very interested in ensuring that our state’s voter votes are not diluted by the unconstitutional electoral administration of other states.”
The state of Texas on the previous day insisted that the electoral vote should be postponed, saying that the voting process was changed unconstitutional in four race states (Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan) taken by Biden. The Supreme Court requested that the four competition states give an answer by the 10th. The dismissal is expected to be decided within this week.
It is unprecedented for other states to make this issue, as states have constitutional powers to set election procedures and administration. But President Trump is trying to set up a confrontation in the Supreme Court, the WP explained.
In an NBC interview, Steve Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas Law School, said in an interview with NBC that the lawsuit in Texas will fail due to the lack of substantial evidence. “The definitive version of the implications” he criticized.
According to CNBC, Maryland’s Attorney General Brian Frothy, who did not join the declaration of support, dismissed the lawsuit via social media as “a pit of filth filled with absurd speculation and silly gibberish.”
The day before, the Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit by Republican lawmakers alleging that a vote by mail in Pennsylvania won by Biden-elect was invalid. It is a significant blow to President Trump in that it is the first presidential election ruling by the Supreme Court.
However, it is unlikely that the pro-Trump camp’s litigation will end easily.
Political media The Hill reported that the Republican Party plans to file a formal appeal against the Pennsylvania lawsuit. President Trump made it clear that he had no intention of accepting the lawsuit, saying he would intervene in the Texas lawsuit, calling for more states to join.
