The state of Texas has just filed a lawsuit asking the United States Supreme Court to void the election in four key swing states due to irregularities in voting and mail-in ballots.
The specific charges have to do with the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin and the changing of their voting rules without going through their state legislatures.
American Greatness reported:
Will This Texas Lawsuit Overturn the 2020 Election?
In a lawsuit filed Monday before the U.S. Supreme Court, the state of Texas accuses four states currently “won” by Joe Biden of using the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to violate the Electors Clause and the 14th Amendment.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin for usurping the sole authority of state legislatures to create election law and charges that millions of absentee ballots were unlawfully processed by local election officials.
“They accomplished these statutory revisions through executive fiat or friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity,” the plaintiffs wrote. “Finally, these same government officials flooded the Defendants States with millions of ballots to be sent through the mails, or placed in drop boxes, with little or no chain of custody and, at the same time, weakened the strongest security measures protecting the integrity of the vote—signature verification and witness requirements.”
The filing asks the court to extend the December 14, 2020 deadline to certify each state’s electoral slate noting that the only date “mandated by the Constitution” is January 20, 2021.
Since the lawsuit was filed, the states of Florida and Louisiana have joined.
FLORIDA IS ALL IN
God Bless Texas!

This is an important point.
Texas' challenge to SCOTUS is not an attempt by Republicans to beat Democrats.
It's an attempt by voters to beat unlawful orders issued by governors in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
If we lose the rule of law, it won't matter who is elected president. It's that important.
