Late Monday night, Texas filed a federal lawsuit against Pennsylvania and 3 other states where election laws were improperly changed without legislative authorization in those states. In the 4 states the election rules were diverse from county to county, without legislative approval; weakening the US 14th Amendment guarantees of 'equal protections under law'. Because the nature of the lawsuits is state vs state, the US Supreme Court is the immediate venue of deliberations. It's a move which seeks to bar electors from being federally recognized in the weeks to come. The move is bold and hearkens to the legacy of Ted Cruz, who used to hold the role on behalf of Texas, for the State of Texas. It's a move which Oklahoma would do well to stand in solidarity with. Gov. Kevin Stitt needs to decide if Oklahoma has the resolve to stand with the 'Lone State State'. Breitbart has a report on this move. We are providing a portion of that article, below. |
The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution. Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above. |
