In another last-ditch bid to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, Texas is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse election results in Wisconsin and three other battleground states, but the effort may prove futile after the high court on Tuesday rejected a Republican attempt to reverse results in Pennsylvania.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton directly petitioned the Supreme Court on Monday to block the presidential electors in those states from voting for Biden when the Electoral College meets Monday, and to override the will of the states’ voters by forcing their Legislatures to appoint presidential electors instead.

Paxton is challenging the election results in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania — all states Biden won — based on differences in election administration the case contends are favorable to Democrats, COVID-19-related changes to elections rules by non-legislative actors, and “the appearance of voting irregularities.”

It’s not yet clear whether the court will take the case.

In the rejected Pennsylvania case, the court without comment refused to call into question the certification process in Pennsylvania. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf already has certified Biden’s victory and the state’s 20 electors are to meet on Monday to cast their votes for Biden.

Biden won 306 electoral votes, so even if Pennsylvania’s results had been in doubt, he still would have more than the 270 electoral votes needed to become president............................................

4. Juanita Jean- Hi Donald! It's Me, Ken. I Need a Pardon.

Juanita Jean is convinced that Paxton wants a pardon from trump https://juanitajean.com/hi-donald-its-me-ken-i-need-a-pardon/

Oh, this is a cute one.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just filed all the proper papers with the United States Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 election.

Paxton, an outspoken advocate of President Donald Trump, claims the states “flooded their people with unlawful ballot applications and ballots” and ignored rules for how such ballots need to be counted, according to a press release announcing the litigation.

“Trust in the integrity of our election processes is sacrosanct and binds our citizenry and the States in this Union together,” Paxton said in the statement. “Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin destroyed that trust and compromised the security and integrity of the 2020 election.”

Now what Texas has to do with this, I dunno. But, I known for a damn guaranteed fact what Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, has to do with it. He needs a pardon, in fact a couple of them and a blank form he can use in the future, and what better way to get Trump’s attention.

Paxton is currently under indictment for stock fraud and is currently being investigated by the FBI for bribery and abuse of office.

5. No WIsc Reps signed Amicus

None of Wisconsin's House members signed the Amicus breif on the Texas vs Four Commie States Who Let Biden Win lawsuit.

I would have thought Grothman would have signed it, he lives for that nonsense. Gallagher too, he's a Trump groupie teeny bopper.
