Donald Trump’s allies continue the legal battle against the result of the presidential election. Supports a lawsuit against the results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.
TDespite the recent setback before the Supreme Court, Donald Trump’s camp continues its legal battle against its defeat in the presidential election. Seventeen Republican attorneys from various states said in a petition to the Supreme Court in Washington on Wednesday that they supported a Texas case in the Supreme Court. With this lawsuit, the attorney general of Texas, Republican Ken Paxton, seeks to invalidate the electoral results in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. Trump challenger Joe Biden won there.
All four states were known as swing states, in which there was no clear majority for either Republican Trump or Democrat Biden. All four states have already certified the results. It’s unclear whether the Supreme Court will even accept Texas’s lawsuit. Trump’s attorneys requested Wednesday that the Supreme Court consider the lawsuit.
The Supreme Court had only rejected a request for an injunction on Tuesday, with which the Trump side wanted to annul the result of the elections in Pennsylvania. The decision did not include the votes against the nine judges.
Experts no longer give Trump a realistic chance to turn the outcome in his favor through lawsuits. Trump has been claiming since the Nov.3 election that the victory was stolen from him by massive Democratic fraud. So far, neither he nor his lawyers have been able to provide convincing evidence. Lawsuits have been dismissed in various states in a dozen cases. Attorney General William Barr also said last week that he had no evidence of fraud to the extent that it would alter the outcome.
