The Amistad Project joined litigation filed by Texas in the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to intervene on behalf of voters.
The Amistad Project’s motion was also joined by 15 Michigan legislators.
Its statement of support came before the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the challenge.
"Privatizing the 2020 election not only violated the law, it undermined election integrity and unconstitutionally usurped legislative authority resulting in an election in which the American people cannot have faith," Phill Kline, director of the Amistad Project, said in a news release. "The Amistad Project is pleased the states joining the litigation have come together in an effort to reveal and challenge the results of the 2020 election."
The Amistad Project’s motion contends there were widespread state law violations and federal violations of Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
The motion argues that the state legislatures did not uphold the constitutional duty they had to properly certify the election results and, in doing so, the election officials who did so were unlawfully empowered.
The motion to intervene argues that the certification in certain states, which is supposed to be an “insurance policy” to prove that election officials aren’t abusing their power and influencing election outcomes.
The Amistad Project’s intervening motion is asking the Supreme Court to look at state legislatures and their constitutional duty to certify election results.
Last week, the Amistad Project noted that the Electoral College deadline didn’t have to be followed and that the only deadline that mattered was inauguration day on Jan. 20.
“Through rigorous investigations supporting our litigation, we demonstrate that state and local officials brazenly violated election laws in several swing states in order to advance a partisan political agenda,” Kline said, The Sconi reported. “As a result, it is impossible for those states to determine their presidential Electors in line with the arbitrary deadline set forth via federal statute in 1948, and thus, the only deadline that matters is January 20, 2021.” https://thesconi.com/stories/567373976-amistad-project-releases-paper-finding-electoral-college-votes-can-be-withheld-pending-challenges
The project has already sought to have the Michigan Supreme Court obtain all voting irregularities proof and declare the election results as invalid.
