Texas is suing the swing states that confirmed Biden ! 🙄
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The state of Texas, aiming to help President Donald Trump upend the results of the U.S. election, said on Tuesday it has sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin at the Supreme Court, calling changes those states made to election procedures amid the coronavirus pandemic unlawful.
The long-shot lawsuit, announced by the Republican attorney general of Texas Ken Paxton, was being filed directly with the Supreme Court rather than with a lower court, as is permitted for certain litigation between states. The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority including three justices appointed by Trump.
The lawsuit represents the latest legal effort intended to reverse the Republican president’s loss to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden in the Nov. 3 election. Those efforts have so far failed and legal experts said the Texas suit also is unlikely to succeed.
Democrats and other critics have accused Trump of aiming to reduce public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and undermine American democracy by trying to subvert the will of the voters.
Texas accused election officials in the four states of failing to protect mail-in voting from fraud, thus diminishing “the weight of votes cast in states that lawfully abide by the election structure set forth in the Constitution.”

@bijouxbroussard I’ve always wondered why they threw away their independence and joined the USA😂😂

@MissTaken @bijouxbroussard Interesting we are discussing this topic because I learned a fact I hadn’t known yesterday about Virginia, you might already know. West Virginia succeeded from Virginia because they didn’t support the Confederate Army. In modern times, West Virginia is one of the most staunch Republican states in America.

@Archtiger Seceded ? That makes sense. The GOP used to mostly represent the Northern states, anti-slavery, pro-abolitionist. But boy did they do a 180 politically in that regard.

@bijouxbroussard Excellent question. I know they were divided at the Federal level but I’m not sure if it was succession.

@bijouxbroussard Ah, misspelled word. I see now. You are correct, my mistake.

@bijouxbroussard Its still paranoia...See, the thing about paranoia is it never ever recognizes itself..as a mega-concept.
So the more it gets challenged the more examples of itself it throws up...thus agreeing it REALLY IS PARANOIA
And article 25 would still hold sway if that madman still thinks he is in power..even 4 a few more weeks
Also most people secretly wanna know...Is madness catching???
Well in this case....all bets are off but mine is still in...that this time it won't go on tooooooo much longer.
i believe in PEOPLE and that includes anyone on the SC who knows what a bitch it is to be a good human being...and this time it will include a majority.
Thank you AF!!
