Interesting point: Texas Solicitor General Kyle Hawkins, who argues the state's SCOTUS cases, has not signed on to this lawsuit. Legal experts already saying Texas case is likely to get tossed, like the vast majority of lawsuits challenging elex results. https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1336315327567831042

Texas Attorney General @KenPaxtonTX is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block the battleground states from casting "unlawful and constitutionally tainted votes" in the Electoral College. There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud, AG Bill Barr has said. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/12/08/texas-ken-paxton-election-georgia/

"With all due respect, Texas Attorney General is constitutionally, legally and factually wrong about Georgia," says a Georgia AG spox.

Georgia SOS: "The allegations in the lawsuit are false & irresponsible." Paxton claims forged signatures w/o evidence "because it didn't happen"

Michigan AG @dananessel: "The motion filed by the Texas Attorney General is a publicity stunt, not a serious legal pleading.... Mr. Paxton’s actions are beneath the dignity of the office of Attorney General and the people of the great state of Texas."

Wisconsin AG @JoshKaulWI: “I feel sorry for Texans that their tax dollars are being wasted on such a genuinely embarrassing lawsuit. Texas is as likely to change the outcome of the Ice Bowl as it is to overturn the will of Wisconsin voters in the 2020 presidential election."

PA AG @JoshShapiroPA: "These continued attacks on our fair & free election system are beyond meritless, beyond reckless—they are a scheme by the President of the United States & some in the [GOP] to disregard the will of the people...We should not allow this circus to continue."
