The rejection of the case by the Supreme Court occurs days before the legal deadline of next Monday, so that the representatives of the electoral college of each state vote on the final ratification of the results, and send them to Congress for approval on the day six next month.
Republican lawmakers were quick to support Trump in his attempt to overturn the election results, which he still insists were rigged, as 106 Republican lawmakers in Congress announced their support for the lawsuit filed by the state of Texas on Thursday. the Supreme Court.
All four states targeted by the lawsuit responded, all of which favored Biden, and demanded that the Supreme Court dismiss the lawsuit, accusing the state of Texas of seeking to overturn the results based on false accusations.
The announced results indicate that President-elect Joe Biden obtained 306 of the electoral college votes, compared to 232 votes for Trump. Despite the ratification of the results by all the states, and the loss of the lawsuits he had previously filed, Trump continues to challenge the elections, calling them fraudulent.
The lawyer and former Democratic candidate for Congress of the United States, Jessica Elrich, said in an interview with Sky News Arabia, that this attempt was led by legislators and politicians who support Trump for future electoral purposes. The last days before the meeting of the members of the electoral college “.
Elrich noted that “the state of Texas suffered no harm from the election results, which constitutionally nullifies the lawsuit brought by the state attorney general against other states,” adding that it was “simply a failed attempt to manipulate the provisions. of the Constitution and exploit them, for the benefit of those who support the demand. ” .
Elrich hoped this was not Trump’s last attempt to reverse the election result, saying: “There are millions of Trump supporters who believe his allegations and donate millions of dollars to him for his legal battles, but the money is often will allocate to his future electoral campaigns.
Republicans argued by emphasizing the idea that states changed electoral rules during the Corona pandemic without passing their legislatures, in what Republicans viewed as a violation of Article Two of the United States Constitution.
Patrick Mara, a member of the Republican National Committee in Washington, DC, told Sky News Arabia that the plaintiffs “have every right to do so, and if there were any wrongdoing, this lawsuit would have been exposed.”
Regarding the constitutionality of the case, Mara said: “It is the Supreme Court that decides the extent of its constitutionality and whether it can be accepted,” and this is what the court seems to have found.
Mara hoped that “Trump will stop his judicial attempts to influence the results of the elections next Monday, when the members of the electoral college meet to cast their votes, unless something exceptional happens that makes him continue his efforts.”
Mara added that the lawsuit was “long overdue, and the petitioners had to do so immediately after the elections and no more than a month after their completion.”
Trump had pledged to intervene in the lawsuit and tweeted on his Twitter account Wednesday saying: “We will interfere in the case of Texas (and many other states). It is a huge lawsuit. Our country needs victory.”
