reThe United States Supreme Court dismissed Texas’ lawsuit against the presidential election result, giving President Donald Trump another defeat. Texas had no legal justification to intervene in another state’s election, the court said Friday (local time). Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had demanded election results in four other states. He wanted to reverse Democrat Joe Biden’s victory over Republican Trump.
Justice ministers from 17 states and 126 Republican House representatives supported the Texas lawsuit. Another 22 US states and territories objected. The defendant states dismissed the initiative as an abuse of the legal system.
Unsustainable claims
Trump also asked to enter the process, which he called “the most important process of all time” a few hours before the decision on Twitter. had designated. Among other things, it argued that it did not have to prove fraud. It was only necessary to show that the procedure deviated from the requirements of local parliaments. Additionally, Trump’s field attorneys claim that alleged wrongdoing in individual states has destroyed the evidence of the fraud, so it can no longer be proven.
After more than 50 defeats from Trump’s field in courts across the country, it became clear that the decisive legal battle for the White House could come before the Supreme Court. Current incumbent Donald Trump has been claiming since the Nov. 3 election that he was deprived of victory through massive fraud. Neither he nor his lawyers provided convincing evidence.
It was about Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Still, Paxton filed a lawsuit against four states with the Supreme Court 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, among other things, with the fact that voters were not treated equally and decisions about the organization of the vote were not made by state parliaments, as stipulated by the constitution. In particular, the authorities did not prevent fraud in the vote-by-mail. As a result, the weight of legally cast votes was reduced.
The lawsuit also alleged that Biden’s odds of winning the election in the four states were less than 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 (“less than 1 in a quadrillion”).
In addition to the electoral authorities, Attorney General William Barr recently said that no irregularities or fraud had been found to the extent that they could change the outcome of the elections.
Biden has the majority of the electorate
The results of each state are the key to winning the presidential election. The American president is not chosen directly by the people, but by 538 voters who usually vote according to the result in their states. 270 of your votes are required for victory. Based on the results of the November 3 election, Biden got 306 voters to back him. Voting by voters is scheduled for Monday.
In Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin there were a total of 62 electoral votes. Paxton wanted to make sure that the electorate in these states is either commissioned by local parliaments or not appointed at all. In addition to the lawsuit, the Texan petitioned the Supreme Court for a court order to immediately stop all activities involving the electorate in the four states.

After the death of Liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in September, Trump had lobbied to swiftly fill the Supreme Court seat with Conservative attorney Amy Coney Barrett before the Supreme Court elections. He also explicitly referred to a possible dispute over the outcome of the elections. Conservatives now dominate the court with a majority of six to three votes. However, previous Trump camp lawsuits were equally dismissed by justices, regardless of whether they were nominated by Democratic or Republican presidents.
