WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 08th December, 2020) The state of Texas has filed a lawsuit in the US
Supreme Court in a bid to block the states of
Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
from participating in the electoral college after they certified projected President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the
election, a
court document showed on Tuesday.
"This Court should first administratively stay or temporarily restrain the Defendant States from voting in the electoral college until further order of this Court and then issue a preliminary injunction or stay against their doing so until the conclusion of this case on the merits," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other state officials said in the Supreme Court filing.
The legal filing argues that state officials usurped the authority of state legislatures when they enacted election laws to allow for mail-in voting.
The laws created a system in which voters were treated differently, with more favorable circumstances alloted to local governments under Democrat control, the court filing said.
The Texas officials also argue that the "appearance of voting irregularities" in the four states is consistent with the "unconstitutional relaxation of ballot-integrity protections" in the election laws of those states.
Trump refuses to concede and continues to dispute the validity of the vote in courts, accusing his rivals of massive election fraud in key battleground states.
US law requires all state election disputes, including recounts and legal challenges, by Tuesday. The so-called "safe harbor deadline" aims to provide time to ensure there are no issues when the Electoral College proceedings take place on December 14.

미친 것에는 이견이 없는데, 연방대법원 건 만큼은 계속 보려합니다.
어차피 이 건을 제가 계속 보는 이유는 일단 벌어지면 충분히 위험하고,
연방대법원 건 만큼은 확신할 정보가 없습니다. 인간적인 요인이 지나치게 많아요..
그동안 미국사에서 여러 미친 판결들이 있었던 만큼 특히 저 사뮤엘 엘리토는 정상적 세계관을 가진 인간이 아니기도 하고요..
아 물론 씹고 뱉는다면?
저는 몇 일 패밀리 타임도 가지고 푹 잘겁니다. :)
'사무엘 엘리토'란이의 이름 철자 여쭤봐도될까요? 개인명은 알겠는데 성씨가 에스파냐어인지 영어인지 판단을 못하겠습니다.
