Several Mississippi Republicans seek to throw out millions of ballots

Trent Kelly, an attorney, and Michael Guest, a former district attorney, were among the 106 Republican U.S. House Members who filed a motion to support a lawsuit that seeks to invalidate election results in Georgia and Wisconsin. U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo (representing the 4th District) joined the lawsuit on Friday as the number Republican U.S. House Members signed a friend’s court brief grew from 126 to 106. The lawsuit was filed in Texas by Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas. He is currently under investigation for security fraud charges. An additional FBI investigation is ongoing into allegations that he used his office to aid wealthy donors. Most legal experts, including Republicans, view the lawsuit as a futile effort. Guest stated that he understood the need to make many sacrifices and other changes in order to protect people during the pandemic. There is no situation (including a pandemic) that gives elected officials any reason to ignore the Constitution of the United States and the constitutions of individual state. Attorney General Paxton’s bill of complaint highlights many irregularities that warrant review by the Supreme Court. My colleagues and I offer this amicus brief to assist with its consideration. “If the court finds that these elected officers overstepped their constitutional duties, and therefore tainted the states’ elections,” we must concentrate on restoring integrity to the electoral process that was compromised. The Paxton lawsuit claims that changes were made in the election process of those states without the approval from their legislatures.

Other changes were not limited to these four states. Texas was the original site of the lawsuit. The Republican governor. Greg Abbott signed an executive decree extending early voting to make the COVID-19 pandemic easier. Fitch joined 17 other attorneys general to support Abbott. He said, “I also joined my fellows from other states in defending the fundamental principle of election law not being written by courts. They interpret them. They interpret them. Mississippi Governor. Tate Reeves stated that she appreciated Tate’s active role in filing amicus briefs or friends of the court papers. But others disagreed. “I wonder what Mississippi would think if the attorney General of Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania), tried to invalidate their votes in a legal Mississippi Election?” This aiding a presidential coup will be decided by the courts and history,” state senator David Blount (D-Jackson) posted on social media. Many Republicans also questioned the suit. U.S. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas said that the lawsuit was a serious violation of federalism. “It sets a precedent for one state to ask federal courts to regulate the voting procedures in other states.” Biden was not shown to have “less than one in four billion” chances of winning the four US states. Pre-election polls showed that Biden was likely to win all four of the states.
