Texas, SAEDNEWS, Dec. 10: Seventeen US states have officially backed the Texas complaint to the US Supreme Court alleging that four states that certified the presidential election for Democrat Joe Biden mismanaged them in violation of the US Constitution.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt led his colleagues from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia in filing the amicus brief to tshe US Supreme Court on Wednesday.
The amici “have a strong interest in ensuring that the votes of their own citizens are not diluted by the unconstitutional administration of elections in other States,” says the 30-page brief, adding that when other bodies in those states encroach on the authority of their legislatures – the only ones constitutionally entrusted with elections – “they threaten the liberty, not just of their own citizens, but of every citizen of the United States who casts a lawful ballot in that election.”
They were joined on Wednesday evening by Arizona, in a somewhat surprising development given the lingering questions about the results of the election there.
AG Mark Brnovich said he believes Arizona wasn’t named as a defendant “because our office successfully prevented many of the same troubling and last-minute changes to our state’s election integrity laws.”
Wednesday’s filings come after several attorneys-general offered verbal support for Texas AG Ken Paxton, who on Tuesday sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin over their conduct of the November 3 election (Source: Russia Today).
