Can States sue and investigate McConnell?

[OliverQ]

So we found out today that McConnell is getting donations from Voting Machine lobbyists in exchange for him refusing to protect our election systems.

The DoJ will never investigate him, but seeing as elections are run by the States, why don't State AGs have standing to sue him? He's actively sabotaging State elections. They should have some power of that.

1. lets get a class action suit going... any lawyers here?

2. Of course, you can sue for anything. But,I doubt you would be successful because it's legal

for companies to donate to politicians, within specific amt. guidelines. It's almost impossible to prove intent. McConnel would simply say he voted against the bill because they were [artisan Dem. bills generated in the Dem controlled House and he was stopping them. ll that IF the suit ever got before a court.

3. It's not legal for Senators to actively sabotage State elections for profit though.

4. His fellow senators COULD vote to expel him from the Senate

It takes 2/3. I imagine it might be remotely possible if enough people protest and call their senators to get rid of him.

5. At a minimum the state would have to use the machines in question.

And only the states using those machines.
