> They note that since there is no longer a legal path to modifying the results of the election

Isn’t there a Supreme Court case that Texas filed and 18 states added on with amici curiae? It won’t be heard, and it wouldn’t be positively ruled, but it “is” a possibly isn’t it?

Also, isn’t it possible if there was fraud that it was discovered later? Shouldn’t that be “allowed”?

(I’m not in any way facetiously asking, I really don’t know)



The court has already unanimously declined to interfere in the election in the PA case. The TX case isn’t going to be suddenly different.


The court decided not to approve an injunction to stop certification in the PA case. They have not dismissed the case, they have not indicated they will not hear the case.

Also, don’t mistake the lack of an opinion or dissent as unanimous. Court vote was not disclosed. No one dissented, which is interesting given Alito’s push in PA for them to segregate ballots prior to this.

The Texas case is not asking for any injunction. Now with 18-20 additional states added on it (amici curiae) is making a 14th amendment argument that the four defendants changed election laws without going through their legislatures, a direct and indisputable violation of Article 2. That this damages Texans, that if the states aren’t held to the constitution, then what is the point?

But I don’t think the cases will be heard, I have no idea, my point isn’t what the percentage chance is, it’s that it is not zero.... as I understand it.


Also dropped in a no-nonsense 9-0 opinion.

There's really no basis for these lawsuits.

No, a finding of fraud isn't allowed because all the results of the election have been certified as not fraudulent by authorities beyond question.
