41. Texas has no standing in this case....
Fri Dec 11, 2020, 01:11 AM
Dec 2020

One state can not sue another state on how they run their elections and choose delegates. The SCOTUS should reject this case based on this alone.... Now Texas wants to sue 4 swing states, and nullify millions and millions of people of these states, and yet they were not damaged by what these states have done with their elections, hence, Texas has no standing in this case. They receive no damages.... People can file anything they want, but this case will not make it to the SCOTUS based on thisalone.
