Donald Trump may have looked to the Supreme Court to overturn the results of the elections in his favor. However, the heavily-backed bid to challenge the results ended in defeat.
The Supreme Court has unanimously rejected the lawsuit filed by Texas attorney general Ken Paxton and backed by 18 other state attorney generals and 126 Republican members of Congress. The lawsuit sought to disenfranchise the votes gained by Joe Biden in the battleground states of Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Biden won in all four states and his victory has already been certified by officials. The lawsuit also sought to extend the deadline for election certification to overturn the results in Trump’s favor.
The Supreme Court ruled that Texas did not have any legal standing to push the case. Their ruling was made known in a one-page brief. Nevertheless, Trump continued to push his baseless claims of fraud even as many local and state officials, including DOJ attorney general William Barr, found no evidence of fraud. This marks the latest defeat towards Trump and his allies. The electors in the states are set to cast most of their votes to Biden, who wins the election by 306 electoral votes. Trump only received 232 electoral votes.
“Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot,” said the court in its ruling. Two of the nine Supreme Court Justices, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, both expressed that while they would not immediately dismiss the lawsuit, they had no view on whether the attempts made by Trump and his allies had any merit. Trump has since attacked the court for the dismissed case.
As Trump continues to insist upon his claims of a stolen election, more and more Republicans including those closest to Trump, have begun breaking away. Among them was former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie who criticized the attempt to bring the lawsuit to the Supreme Court over the weekend.
At ABC’s “This Week,” Christie explained that apart from having no evidence to support their claims, bringing the claim to the Supreme Court in itself is “absurd.”
“The reason why the Supreme Court didn’t take it is because it’s an absurd idea to think that any state or any number of states, no matter how good they are, can challenge another state’s right to run the election as they see fit,” said Christie.
