'The big one' lands at the Supreme Court

Tomorrow the Supreme Court is expected to consider a mega-lawsuit written by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton,supported by President Donald Trump and a growing number of states including Arkansas, Missouri Louisiana and at least 14 others.

But will the Supreme Court be willing to hear the case challenging the Electoral College votes of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin?

"These elections in other states where state law was not followed … affects my voters because these are national elections, and so if there are fraudulent things or things that affect an election and state law is not followed as is required by the Constitution it affects our state," Paxton said on Wednesday. "It affects every state."

"We can't go back and fix it, but we can say, OK, let's transfer this to the legislature … and let them to decide the outcome of the election. That would be a valid constitutional situation," Paxton continued.

The aim is to invalidate 62 Electoral College votes of four battleground states and have them awarded to Trump because of fraud.

"Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a justification, government officials in the defendant states of Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (collectively, 'Defendant State'), usurped their legislatures' authority and unconstitutionally revised their state's election statutes," Paxton's complaint says. "They accomplished these statutory revisions through executive fiat or friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity."
