The US Supreme Court has rejected an unprecedented attempt to throw out election results in four battleground states that was backed by President Donald Trump.
The lawsuit, filed this week by the state of Texas, sought to invalidate results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
President-elect Joe Biden won all four.
The lawsuit was supported by 18 state attorneys general and 106 Republican members of Congress.
But in a brief order rejecting the bid, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Texas did not have legal standing to bring the case.
The order said Texas did not have legal standing to bring the claim.
"Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections," the court said in the unsigned order.
The case was filed on Tuesday by the Republican attorney-general of Texas, a Trump ally, against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

I think people are quite aware of this without another thread discussing it.
They are but all the posts are in the Mud Pit, nothing in Breaking Political News, which this is.

Well there’s that thread about ten posts down from yours that got closed because it’s not in the mud pit and people were having tantrums. But yea, this thread is super duper breaking.
