According to the U.S. Constitution, election laws of states can only be changed by state legislatures. But in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the Governors, by edict, because of the pandemic, said that residents could vote by mail-in-ballot instead of in person. Their laws, prior to that, had allowed only special cases to use mail-in ballots, such as persons confined for medical reasons.

In addition to that, the governors did not include the safeguards that have been mandated with mail-in voting, such as requiring signature verification and address verification.

A lawsuit, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, seeks to invalidate the election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin because, as Paxton alleges, those states exploited “the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election.” Paxton wants all the mail-in votes invalidated. 

Texas senator, Ted Cruz, a constitutional scholar, and a lawyer who has successfully adjudicated cases before the Supreme Court, will present the case for Texas. 18 other states have now filed Friends of the Court Briefs with Texas, as did President Trump Wednesday.

It was these mail-in ballots, that arrived during the night after the election, and which were supposedly 90% for Biden, that gave him the win. Prior to that, Trump was ahead by 700,000 votes in Pennsylvania.

According to the constitution, when one state sues another state, or states, the lawsuit goes straight to the Supreme Court without delay.

What is interesting in this instance is that the Supreme Court, instead of just setting a date to hear the case, has notified the four states that they have until 3 PM today to explain to the court "why they took it upon themselves to supersede the Consitution."  

According to legal experts, that is a strong indication that the court is leaning towards siding with Texas in ruling against the four states!

If they don't give a satisfactory answer, the Supreme Court can rule against them without even bringing the lawsuit to court.

The court could rule the mail-in ballots void, or it could have the House of Representatives decide, for the four separate states, if their electoral votes should go to Biden or Trump. Because of districting, which was drawn up during the last census, Republicans will be in charge of deciding the electoral votes in all of the four states! In either case, Trump would end up with over 270 electoral votes.

Or the Supreme court could come up with some other ruling, or even decide to let the counts stand. But that last one is not likely because it would be against the Constitution.

This looks like there is actually a chance that Trump will win the election.

The media may say that that is moot because the electoral votes have to be tallied and decreed by December 14th. But oops, as has been previously pointed out in the media, the December 14th date is just a law made by Congress. This can be overruled. The only specific date in the Constitution is January 20, when a new president must be inaugurated.

Ted Cruz, who has previously won cases before the Supreme Court, knows the law, and the law won. In this case, the constitution will win. And it sounds like that is what the Justices are thinking.

In that case, NAK ALSO WINS! IF SO, HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS!

He is back with a note THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL DISCOURSE AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED! PLEASE AND THANK YOU. :-) This will be important for NAK. Our permit was denied while Trump is still President, but it was denied when it appeared certain the Biden would win. Trump is for Pebble, his son is an environmentalist and is against it, but Trump sees the importance of our rare earth metals ...more
