SCOTUS DOCKET: TEXAS VS PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN, GEORGIA AND WISCONSIN

3 min read

Texas files lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin in the Supreme Court siting unconstitutional irregularities in their election process.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit on Tuesday with the Supreme Court alleging the four battle ground states violated federal and state laws in the manner in which they conducted and altered the election process. The state of Texas is arguing that given the number of electoral votes between these four states, ” the states will “determine the outcome of the election.” The documents filed states that the executive and judicial officials in all four states made ” significant changes” to a election rules which did away with the security measures such as signature verification, witness requirements, poll observers and authorized secure ballot drop off locations for absentee and mail- in -ballots.

These are issues that the Trump Campaign argued during the hearings that took place in each of these states, by providing witness statements, sworn affidavits and video evidence.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry issues a statement Tuesday evening stating :

Weeks ago, on behalf of the citizens of Louisiana, my office joined many other states in filing a legal brief with the United States Supreme Court urging the Justices to look into the conduct of the election in Pennsylvania where their state court ignored the U.S. Constitution in regard to the conduct of the election. The U.S. Constitution in Article 1, Section 4, states plainly: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature …” The power for the conduct of federal elections is held by the State Legislatures in each state. In states like Pennsylvania, the judicial branch attempted to seize control of these duties and obligations and to set their own rules. These actions appear to be unconstitutional. If it is unconstitutional for Pennsylvania to take this action, it is similarly unconstitutional for other states to have done the same.

“Millions of Louisiana citizens, and tens of millions of our fellow citizens in the country, have deep concerns regarding the conduct of the 2020 federal elections. Deeply rooted in these concerns is the fact that some states appear to have conducted their elections with a disregard to the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, many Louisianans have become more frustrated as some in media and the political class try to sidestep legitimate issues for the sake of expediency.

Only the U.S. Supreme Court can ultimately decide cases of real controversy among the states under our Constitution. That is why the Justices should hear and decide the case which we have joined representing the citizens of Louisiana.

Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court should consider the most recent Texas motion, which contains some of the same arguments.

Louisiana citizens are damaged if elections in other states were conducted outside the confines of the Constitution while we obeyed the rules.”

As we watch the election results unfold, over 80 million people wait, protest and band their voices together hoping to be heard.

America stands divided- The state of America is now at the mercy of the United States Supreme Courts’ gavel.
