90 deaths an hour, but Trump annoys Germany
The United States wants to start corona vaccines as soon as possible. No later than the weekend, the responsible pharmaceutical agency, the FDA, should give the green light. The problem, however, is that a large proportion of Americans do not want to be vaccinated at all.
Numerous lawsuits against the electoral defeat of the US president failed. However, the incumbent’s supporters do not give up. Now, Republican attorneys from various states are mobilizing under the leadership of Texas.
IIn the legal battle against his defeat in the US presidential election, Donald Trump now relies on a complaint from the state of Texas.
The president asked the US Supreme Court on Wednesday to comment on the case started in Texas. The Texas complaint is “very strong, all criteria met,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
In Texas, Trump had won a majority in the November 3 presidential election. The state filed a complaint against official election results in the changing states of Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on Tuesday. The results were “unconstitutional”, as “fraud-prone” postal votes were counted on a large scale.
Texas has the support of other states. 17 Republican attorneys from all 50 US states testified in their presentation to the Washington Supreme Court that they support the Texas lawsuit.
Since one state cannot interfere in the electoral process in other states, the complaint has little chance of success.
Additionally, Texas did not provide clear evidence of voter fraud nor did it file a lawsuit against election results in high absentee states where Trump won.
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.
However, on Twitter, Trump thanked attorneys for the states who, along with his colleague from Texas, campaigned against “the largest electoral fraud in the history of the United States.
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.
In his lawsuit, Texan Ken Paxton cites as grounds that the constitution was violated in all four states, among other things because voters were not treated equally and there were irregularities. He also explicitly noted that the states in question had allegedly changed their voting rights unconstitutionally shortly before the elections; With reference to the Covid 19 pandemic, deadlines were extended and voting by mail was facilitated.
It is about 62 voters
The American president is not chosen directly by the people, but by 538 voters who usually vote according to the result in their respective states. 270 votes are required for victory. According to preliminary results, Biden had 306 voters behind him in the election, Trump 232.
In Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin together there are 62 voters and ultimately the lawsuit is about getting Biden. Paxton wants the electorates in these states to be commissioned by local parliaments or not appointed in the first place. The Texan also filed an injunction request with the Supreme Court to immediately halt all activity involving the electorate in all four states.
Voting by the electorate in the respective states is scheduled for December 14. The House of Representatives and the Senate will meet in Washington on January 6 to count the votes of the states and announce the result. Biden will be sworn in as the new president on January 20.
