106 House Republicans Join Texas at SCOTUS

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A group of 106 House Republicans have joined Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit urging the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the constitutionality of the 2020 presidential election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In Texas v. Pennsylvania, et al, AG Paxton is asking the Supreme Court to order the four states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors. The lawsuit also proclaims that the states enacted last-minute changes, skewing the results of the 2020 presidential election. As a result, Texas voters and the voters in other states were disenfranchised. All four states have since filed their response to Texas’s request. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) led the effort for the legislators in filing an amicus brief. In the brief, they asked the High Court to uphold the power of state legislatures to establish how presidential electors are appointed and to determine the constitutionality of ballots cast and counted under election rules established by non-legislative officials. They urged the Justices to “provide an objective review of these anomalies and to determine for the people if indeed the Constitution has been followed and the rule of law maintained.”
