the 2020 electionFormer White House chief of staff Mark Meadows wrote in his new memoir, "The Chief's Chief," that he had never seen Donald Trump look as "despondent" as he was when the Supreme Court rejected a longshot bid by Texas to overturn the 2020 election results.
Texas' lawsuit argued that Joe Biden's victories in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia should be thrown out over unsubstantiated allegations of widespread voter fraud. The suit said that as a result, the Republican-led legislatures in all four states should be allowed to select a pro-Trump slate of electors to hand Trump a victory. The case was supported by 18 Republican attorneys general, as well as a majority of House Republicans.
In a brief order issued on December 11, 2020, the high court said it would not hear the lawsuit, brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, due to a lack of standing. "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections," the court said in a one-page ruling.
But Meadows mischaracterized the opinion in his memoir, falsely saying that the court ruled that Trump himself as opposed to Texas "had no standing to bring a challenge to an election that he was running in one that was unfairly decided against him."
