Texas sues four battleground states in Supreme Court over 'unlawful election results' in 2020...

Texas' suit argues that results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, which President-elect Joe Biden won, should be declared unconstitutional.

I wonder why Paxton would be desperate to stay in power. Maybe he really needs a pardon for his more severe crimes? 🤔 https://twitter.com/clearing_fog/status/1319735249304051712
Nothing to worry about, I’m sure. https://twitter.com/clearing_fog/status/1324570509653155841
You aren’t supposed to order people to stop cooperating with investigators are you? https://twitter.com/clearing_fog/status/1324570916492226562
Wow, Paxton is up to *seven* whistleblowers?

Sounds totally above board. https://twitter.com/sisu_sanity/status/1336354896090685441
It’s very normal for a state Attorney General to get a $25,000 gift after joining lawsuits, right?

If Marc Elias isn’t worried about the suit, then I’m not worried. https://twitter.com/marceelias/status/1336331358642163725
Good thread here on the mechanism that Paxton is attempting to exploit, and why it’s likely to accomplish nothing for them - especially within the time frame that they need.

Of course, it still helps them undermine faith in elections, and gives MAGA justification to believe. https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1336329911275905031
