Unic Press UK: In the United States Supreme Court on Tuesday, the State of Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Georgia, State of Michigan, and the State of Wisconsin.
The Attorney General is alleging a gross violation of federal and state election laws cum unlawful enacting last-minute changes that skewed the results of the 2020 General Election. In a ‘MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE BILL OF COMPLAINT’ the State of Texas said:
“… the 2020 election suffered from significant and unconstitutional irregularities in the Defendant States…”
Paxton further said that the defendants, battleground states’, flooded their people with unlawful ballot applications and ballots while ignoring statutory requirements as to how they were received, evaluated and counted.
“Elections for federal office must comport with federal constitutional standards. For presidential elections, each state must appoint its electors to the electoral college in a manner that complies with the Constitution. The Electors Clause requirement that only state legislatures may set the rules governing the appointment of electors and elections and cannot be delegated to local officials. The majority of the rushed decisions, made by local officials, were not approved by the state legislatures, thereby circumventing the Constitution,” said Paxton on his official website.
