UPDATE: 21 States Now Support Texas SCOTUS Lawsuit, 42% of America to Sue 8% of America Almost half of the Union has signed on, or expressed a desire to sign on, to Texas's Supreme Court lawsuit challenging the election. by Tom Pappert December 10, 2020
With today’s additions of Wyoming and Ohio, a total of 21 states – including Texas – are signed on or seek to be signed on to the Supreme Court lawsuit challenging the elections in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Since Texas filed the suit, over 20 states have joined or expressed an interest in joining. As it now stands, the following states are seeking a Supreme Court remedy to the November 3 election: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, West Virginia, and Florida.
Late last night in Idaho, the Republican Party overruled the state’s Attorney General, also a Republican, to file an amicus brief seeking to participate in the lawsuit, as Media Right News reported.
AG Files Brief to Have Texas Election Lawsuit Dropped
AG little Bobby Ferguson is a gem of a fellow. He's the one who was persecuting florist Barronelle Stutzman, a case I haven't heard much about of late. In any case here's his latest.
ZitatHis statement was brief, but not surprising.
Many people have wondered if WA would join the 24 other states and Texas in their lawsuit to have the controversial election results in PA, GA, Wisc. and Michigan overturned.
Given the history of Attorney General Bob Ferguson, that was not likely. He has (so far) sued the Trump Administration 83 times. Thursday, he filed what's called a friend of the court briefing, asking the suit be dropped.
He claims the suit is unjustifyably seeking to overturn a free and fair election, and throw out millions of valid votes.
A brief statement by Ferguson read as follows:
“I will continue working to defend our elections from these legal attacks on our democracy. This lawsuit has no legal or factual basis. It will not succeed in overturning the will of the voters.”
Much like Governor Inslee, Ferguson has shown a penchant for grandstanding, filing lawsuits that are more attention getting than necessary, and this action comes as not surprise.
