Supreme Court of The United States: <\/strong>The Court on Friday rejected<\/a> a bid from Texas’ Attorney General, supported by President Donald Trump, to block the ballots of millions of voters in battleground states that went in favor of President-elect Joe Biden. Texas\u2019 motion for leave to file a bill of complaint was denied due to lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. The Court further observed that, \u201cTexas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections<\/em>\u201d. Although, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, JJ., noted that they would have allowed the case to be filed – \u201cI would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the recently held US Presidential Elections, the \u201cSwing States\u201d<\/em> of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin, swung in favour of Joe Biden. The lawsuit was brought by Texas\u2019 Attorney General, Ken Paxton, who sought to sue the abovementioned States and invalidate their election results.<\/p>\n

Incumbent President, Mr. Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly raised allegations of foul play committed during counting of the votes; especially in the \u201cSwing States\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is not the first instance of thwarting the Republican Party\u2019s efforts to challenge the legitimacy of the Election results. On 08-12-2020, the SCOTUS in a \u201cone sentence\u201d<\/strong> Order, refused a request<\/a> from Pennsylvania Republicans to overturn Joe Biden\u2019s victory in the state of Pennsylvania. The Republicans have lost about 50 challenges to the presidential election, as Judges in at least eight states have repeatedly rejected a litany of unproven claims \u2014 that mail-in ballots were improperly sent out, that absentee ballots were counted wrongly, that poll observers were not given proper access to the vote count and that foreign powers hacked into and manipulated voting machines.<\/p>\n

[Texas v. Pennsylvania, decided on 11-12-2020]<\/p>\n
