Try this one...
It's 92 pages though. It's gonna take me a while to read it.

Several states that Trump won also changed their voting rules because of the pandemic.

The fact they are only going after states that Biden won tells me the lawsuit is without merit and an attempt to disenfranchised 10s of millions who voted for Biden.

Yup. Disenfranchisement is pretty bad. Disenfranchising the entire country through massive voter fraud that makes every legitimate vote worthless is perhaps the highest crime of all.

That looks like it's correct. Currently no case number so at this point the Justices still need to decide to accept it or not.

All roads thus far lead back to Breitbart.

"Know what really pisses me off though?"

Trump losing the election springs to mind.

Cant charge people with nonexistent crimes nor any evidence to support such.

S# gun git real, and there isn't squat the meddling politicians and their lackey judges preventing closer looks can do about it.

I'll be damned.

Now that IS interesting!

Texas wants to dictate to other States how to run their elections?

So much for States Rights, eh?

Fascinating times, if it's true.

Hmmm ... the document was uploaded to Scribd by Breitbart.

You are obviously intelligent and have been around here for a long time. I am confused that you can not see the overwhelming evidence of election fraud. It doesn’t take a genius to see this. I guess TDS is real as evidenced by your inability or refusal see the truth.

States going to the Supreme Court to hold other States accountable to their own laws and Constitutions in order to expose fraud sounds like that's exactly how it's supposed to work to me.

So basically Texas is trying to sue other states because they do not like how they handled the election.

This case will go no where and is a waste of the Supreme Court's time.

It is interesting they only chose states where Biden won, that alone shows this lawsuit is without merit.

What other recourse is there. It's been documented in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and elsewhere that last-minute changes were made to election laws that weren't properly circulated through state legislatures, as normal law changes should be.

Supreme Court issues flurry of last-minute election orders

Conservative justices who hold a majority on the Supreme Court object to what they see as intrusions by federal judges who order last-minute changes to state election rules, even in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. The power to alter absentee ballot deadlines and other voting issues rests with state legislatures, not federal courts, according to the conservative justices.

How often were federal judges "activizin'" and arbitrarily changing states' voting regulations, /particularly absentee or mail voting regulation/, without going through the proper channels (i.e. state legislature)? This should NOT have been happening.

This could be a key component to a hail marry defense mounted in defense of Trump. Practically anything seems too much of a long shot to consider, but were the SC to find some aspects of these 11th hour state voting law changes were unconstitutional.....what would that mean? Honest question. Do they mandate a FULL audit of every ballot? Do they throw out some set of votes that were influenced by improper state voting law changes? Do they discard the entire state's EC vote?

IMO it's probably time to get the election process for the POTUS into a federally controlled procedure that is uniform and consistent in every state. It's an election for the most important /national/ elected official, and some of these states are going full bozo with how they legislate and execute the elections. It shouldn't be executed 50 different ways across the country either; we need ONE uniform voting process, one set of ballots, one set of rules. This fragmented and inconsistent handling of the voting just begs for second guessing and scrutiny.

Naw, the resident lawman and company have told everyone its over.
This can not happen.

It looks legit, but the Court still needs to decide to hear the petition.

Our Country stands at an important crossroads. Either the Constitution matters and must be followed, even when some officials consider it inconvenient or out of date, or it is simply a piece of parchment on display at the National Archives. We ask the Court to choose the former.

Lawful elections are at the heart of our constitutional democracy. The public, and indeed the candidates themselves, have a compelling interest in ensuring that the selection of a President

any President

is legitimate. If that trust is lost, the American Experiment will founder. A dark cloud hangs over the 2020 Presidential election.

Here is what we know. 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 States”), usurped their legislatures’ authority and unconstitutionally revised their state’s election statutes.

good articleMany are underestimating the conservative tendencies of hispanics.

a reply to: jrod

No.
It is much more than that, plainly spelled out in the OP.

Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.

It is about the Constitution.

a reply to: Ohanka

Dominion voting machines were used in states Trump won also.

Your logic is invalid.

a reply to: butcherguy

If it is all about the Constitution, then why not sue states that had these issues where Trump won?

It is not about the Constitution, it is about trying to suppress votes for Biden.

A person has to be open to seeing both sides of a situation. Most liberals, and some republicans too, are not.

For the Fifth Circuit - Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Associate Justice (Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas)

Seems a safe bet given he is a strict constitutionalist. He also gave a speech to the Federalist Society about his consitutional concerns with the Chinese Virus lockdowns.

How exactly does Texas have a right to determine what another State does or other counties do?

What do you see as the argument about Equal Protection in this instance.

I find it fascinating.
