The Supreme Court Shoots Down Texas’ Radical Attempt to Overturn the Election

Slate  

On Friday evening, the Supreme Court shot down an attempt by Texas to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the justices to nullify every vote cast in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, then direct the legislatures of each state to appoint their electors to Donald Trump. In a brief order, however, the Supreme Court ruled that Texas lacks standing to meddle in another state’s election processes, curtly killing the case. The court’s order explained that “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.” In other words, Paxton failed to explain how other states’ elections injured Texas. There was never any real chance that the Supreme Court would take up Paxton’s case, let alone rule in his favor.
