REPUBLICAN Senator from Texas, Jon Cornyn stated Wednesday:
"I read just the summary of it, and I frankly struggle to understand the legal theory of it. Number one, why would a state, even such a great state as Texas, have a say so on how other states administer their elections??We have a diffused and dispersed system and even though we might not like it, they may THINK it's unfair ... those are decided at the state and local level and not at the national level. So it's an interesting theory, but I'm not convinced."

Why this Texas 'election fraud' lawsuit is a total and complete joke!
Chris Cillizza Here's why: Legally, Texas has zero legal standing to challenge how other states conduct their elections. Elections -- including ones for federal offices -- are solely the purview of individual states.

States set the hour that their polling places will be open. They decide whether or not a voter is required to show a form of legal identification in order to cast the ballot. They decide on what dates their primaries will be held. And yes, they get to decide -- as many states did in the face of the trump's pandemic -- whether or not to expand mail-in balloting!!!
( It's also worth noting that Paxton's lawsuit runs directly counter to the long-held Republican belief that states, not the federal government, should have broad jurisdiction over how they conduct THEIR OWN AFFAIRS!)

As Andrew C. McCarthy, writing in the *CONSERVATIVE* National Review, put it: "The justices are not going to have the slightest interest in entertaining a sprawling lawsuit brought by an unaffected third-party state — one that, if Texas got its way, would forevermore thrust the Supreme Court into the thick of electoral politics."

Pennsylvania’s REPUBLICAN Attorney General Josh Shapiro said the lawsuit is “legally indefensible and is an afront to principles of constitutional democracy.” “What Texas is doing in this proceeding is to ask this Court to reconsider a mass of baseless claims about problems with the election that have already been considered, and rejected, by this Court and other courts,” he wrote.

a nonpartisan independent law society had their president just explain the nuts and bolts of the laughable texas led lawsuit basically it alleges they believe the 4 swing states wisconsin michigan penn and georgia were wrong to operate their elections the way they did and so the millions of votes cast in those states should b thrown out completely which then gives the presidency to rump and the rump lickers it provides no valid evidence of wrongdoing that proves their case ,in largest part becuz there is no such evidence . only one accusation after another without any proof .
That is correct.

This is now their argument they can't find it so it exist trust...
“Despite the chaos of election night and the days which followed, the media has consistently proclaimed that no widespread voter fraud has been proven,” the lawsuit says (and that proclamation is accurate). “But this observation misses the point. The constitutional issue is not whether voters committed fraud but whether state officials violated the law by systematically loosening the measures for ballot integrity so that fraud becomes undetectable.”

Whoever filed this at the supreme court should be disbarred.
The Texas lawsuit, though, shifts the focus entirely to another matter: the actions of elections officials. It says their actions, including the Republicans who run Georgia’s elections, actually obscured evidence of fraud.
“The unlawful actions of election officials effectively destroy the evidence by which the fraud may be detected,” it says.
The lawsuit does not claim evidence of fraud in the vote-tabulation process but rather says, “The public record demonstrates a ballot-counting process replete with chaos, confusion, and partisan bias.”
It also comes close to acknowledging that fraud has not conclusively been proved.
“Whatever doubt there is about fraud by voters or political operatives,” it says, “there is no doubt that the officials of the Defendant States changed the rules of the contest in an unauthorized manner

But a states Attourney General can now procedure in another states matter that was already addressed in court.... this is ridiculous. He should be allowed to practice law at least at the federal level. If not disbarred entirely from ever practicing law.
This is a gross waste of tax payers money and judicial time... public buildings....
Not a federal attourney general.

If that's their argument NOW then it's even more stupid than it was BEFORE!
State have the jurisdiction and the legal right to alter how voting is done in their state. As many did!!!
Secondly, "loosening the measures for ballot integrity so that fraud becomes undetectable" in itself
still does NOT PROVE that widespread fraud was actually commited!
And that is ALWAYS the bottom line!
They actually have to prove that widespread *WAS* commited, not merely suggest that it *could* have happened.

And it becomes absolutely ignorant. Some how this piece of cow flap from Texas believes the court will rule an opinion without a hearing for the case.... Unbelievable how did he get his law degree ????
good point
