The state of Texas has filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge how several battleground states handled the votes in the 2020 election.

Texas filed the lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin. 

Phill Kline, of the Amistad Project, applauded Texas for filing the lawsuit.

"The lawless nature of the 2020 election is on full display in the suit filed by Texas,” Kline said. “There was a coordinated and unprecedented effort of private interests improperly joining with leftist government officials to illegally support the democrat ticket in this election.”

Kline said the citizens’ data was shared with the private sector.

“This involved the sharing of sensitive citizen information with the private sector and the flow of more than $500 million from the private sector to targeted government officials and local governments,” Kline said. “This resulted in a lawless election in which the American people cannot have confidence. We appreciate Texas taking the lead in this litigation."

The lawsuit claims the states treated certain voters differently and were more favorable to certain voters.

It also notes that the appearance of voting irregularities in the battleground states was consistent with unconstitutional relaxation of ballot-integrity protections.

Texas argues the states violated the electors clause, as well as equal protection and due process.

“Plaintiff State respectfully submits that the foregoing types of electoral irregularities exceed the hanging-chad saga of the 2000 election in their degree of departure from both state and federal law,” the suit states. “Moreover, these flaws cumulatively preclude knowing who legitimately won the 2020 election and threaten to cloud all future elections.”

Texas wants the U.S. Supreme Court to ultimately enjoin the use of unlawful use of election results and send the states back to their state legislatures to appoint presidential electors.

“To safeguard public legitimacy at this unprecedented moment and restore public trust in the presidential election, this Court should extend the December 14, 2020 deadline for Defendant States’ certification of presidential electors to allow these investigations to be completed,” the complaint states. “Should one of the two leading candidates receive an absolute majority of the presidential electors’ votes to be cast on December 14, this would finalize the selection of our President.”
