Trump Fans Embrace Texas Suit as Last Hope to Flip Election
- Complaint names Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia
- Texas attorney general says those states allowed illegal votes
With a key deadline set to pass in his desperate bid to reverse the election, President Donald Trump and his supporters rallied around a lawsuit Texas filed in the U.S. Supreme Court that urges the justices to overturn the vote in four states that went for Joe Biden.
Trump tweeted praise for the “COURAGE & BRILLIANCE!” of Texas, hours after state Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Tuesday that he was suing Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and asking that they be blocked from participating in the Electoral College. In a hearing in an election challenge in Arizona later on Tuesday, a lawyer working with former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell urged the judge to rule quickly so the case could be joined to Paxton’s before the Supreme Court.
