Washington. In the dispute over the outcome of the US presidential elections, fronts are being built before the Supreme Court. On Thursday, six other states requested permission to join the Texas lawsuit aimed at overturning Joe Biden’s victory over incumbent Donald Trump. Trump also requested to join the lawsuit. At the same time, 22 US states and territories presented their arguments against the Texas lawsuit. Pennsylvania condemned the move as a “seditious abuse of the legal process.”
After Trump’s attorneys and supporters were unsuccessful in more than 50 cases involving lawsuits against the election results in multi-state courts, the final legal battle looms. It is not yet clear whether the Supreme Court will accept the lawsuit.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued four other states on Monday. He argued that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan had constitutionally violated the elections. Therefore, the results there should not be taken into account. Paxton justified this with the fact that voters were not treated equally and decisions about organizing were not made by state parliaments.
Fraud due to undetectable criminal activity
Trump’s lawyers are now arguing in the Supreme Court that he does not have to prove fraud. It is only necessary to demonstrate that the procedure deviated from the guidelines established by the local parliaments. They also claim that the alleged wrongdoing in individual states also destroyed evidence of fraud, so it can no longer be proven.
In addition to the electoral authorities, the Attorney General of the United States, William Barr, said recently that no irregularities had been found that could change the outcome of the elections.
Justice ministers from 17 states had expressed support in principle for the Texas lawsuit. Support for this measure also came from 106 of the 196 Republican members of the House of Representatives.
