No, it's bullshit.

It's not. The Supreme Court declines lots of appeals.

Texas has no standing.




The claims in Texas’ lawsuit “are false and irresponsible,” Georgia’s deputy 
secretary of state, Jordan Fuchs, said in a fiery statement shortly after Paxton 
announced the legal action.

“Texas alleges that there are 80,000 forged signatures on absentee ballots in 
Georgia, but they don’t bring forward a single person who this happened to. 
That’s because it didn’t happen,” Fuchs’ statement said.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel called the suit a “publicity stunt” and 
“beneath the dignity” of Paxton’s office. Josh Kaul, the attorney general of 
Wisconsin, said in a statement the case was “genuinely embarrassing.”

Experts in election law were also quick to dismiss the likelihood of the nine 
Supreme Court justices taking the case. Paul Smith, a professor at Georgetown 
University Law Center who has argued voting rights cases at the Supreme Court, 
said the case was “wacko.”

“There is a whole system in Pennsylvania and the other states for contesting the 
election — that’s all been done,” said Smith, who also serves as vice president 
of litigation and strategy at the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center. “I don’t 
think the Supreme Court will have interest in this.”

The professor added that Texas could run into trouble in proving that it has 
grounds to sue, known in legal terms as “standing.”

“It’s totally unprecedented, the idea that one state would, at the Supreme 
Court, claim that other states’ votes were cast in the wrong way — that’s never 
happened,” he said. “What is the injury to the state of Texas because 
Pennsylvania’s votes were cast for Mr. Biden instead of Mr. Trump? There is no 
connection there.”

Rick Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Irvine, 
wrote on his popular legal blog that the suit was “utter garbage” and also 
disputed the idea that Texas had standing, noting that “it has no say over how 
other states choose electors.”
