President Trump on Wednesday morning issued his support for the state of Texas and the 10 states that are supporting its lawsuit against four battleground states that have been accused of having election fraud that erroneously gave Joe Biden a supposed victory in the presidential election.

Texas has filed a lawsuit agaisnt four battleground states saying their loose election rules disenfranchises voters in the Lone Star State because they are fraught with fraud. Texas took the lawsuit directly to the Supreme Court saying those states violated the Elector’s Clause.

“The 2020 election suffered from significant and unconstitutional irregularities,” the case says.

The president said his campaign plans to intervene to support the lawsuit.

“We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

In filing the lawsuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the battleground states Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin did not follow proper election law and protocols and, as a result, disenfranchised Texas voters and the voters in other states.

“These elections in other states where state law was not followed … affects my voters because these are national elections, and so if there are fraudulent things or things that affect an election and state law is not followed as is required by the Constitution it affects our state,” Paxton told “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday. “It affects every state.”

“We can’t go back and fix it, but we can say, OK, let’s transfer this to the legislature … and let them to decide the outcome of the election. That would be a valid constitutional situation,” Paxton continued.

Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above.

“Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a justification, government officials in the defendant states of Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (collectively, ‘Defendant State’), usurped their legislatures’ authority and unconstitutionally revised their state’s election statutes,” Paxton’s complaint says. “They accomplished these statutory revisions through executive fiat or friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity.”

Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors. It seeks to invalidate the 62 Electoral College votes from those four battleground states and award Trump a second term.

The lawsuit comes as the Supreme Court is weighing an election challenge from Pennsylvania.

Congressman Mike Kelly and Congressional candidate Sean Parnell filed a lawsuit two weeks ago to challenge the legality of mail-in ballots and the plaintiffs insist millions of mail-in ballots are not allowed by the state constitution. Now the U.S. Supreme Court has become involved and is requiring state officials to file legal briefs by tomorrow.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is overseeing that appeal and appears to be interested in taking up the case. Alito moved the deadline from Dec. 9 to Dec. 8 to meet the “safe harbor” deadline.

SCOTUS eventually decided against an emergency injunction but will still hear the case.

Texas Senator Red Cruz says he would present oral arguments if their election fraud lawsuit appears in front of the nation’s highest court.
