Texas is disputing US election results in 4 swing states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin & Georgia
Under Article III, US Supreme Court settles disputes between 2 or more states
Due to safe harbour, Trump’s remaining legal routes are narrow after this https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9030743/Texas-files-hail-bid-overturn-election-asking-SCOTUS-o-rule-ballots-states.html

Brief analysis:
The Texas case is about the contested swing states’ executive & judicial branches VS their legislatures, on mail-in ballot rules
On Tuesday before safe harbour, SCOTUS rejected a similar lawsuit brought by Republican Rep. Mike Kelly ( https://text.npr.org/944230517 )

But a 3rd & eerily similar case has been with Justice Alito (as circuit judge for PA) & the Supreme Court since before the election. It’s about this very same executive & judiciary VS legislature dispute. That case, PA Republican Party vs Boockvar, may be decided in time, or not https://twitter.com/MaajidNawaz/status/1326499388588511233
The below is also worth noting: https://twitter.com/maajidnawaz/status/1327245711176593410
There is also the issue of ‘safe harbour’ being said to only be “procedural”. This view rests on a reading of the Bush v Gore Supreme Court ruling.
There is now this too: https://twitter.com/chuckcallesto/status/1336443757219155985
If US Supreme Court rules for Texas, by not allowing the swing states’ Electoral College votes due to unconstitutional judicial activism, then neither candidate has reached the 270 threshold
In such a scenario, Congress decides: 1 vote per state only
And that means a Trump win.

I do not know if any of the above will happen. It’s just one of the routes that remain open to Trump, and it demonstrates why it ain’t over till the fat lady sings.
Regardless, this entire saga *is news*. The Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation in history refused to concede, claiming a foreign breach. That would be an act of war.
That’s my main point, which most people (nearly all MSM) seem to be ignoring for whatever (!) reason

It looks like the above constitutional Texas case has morphed into a major story https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/09/states-tell-supreme-court-they-support-texas-bid-to-reverse-biden-win.html
Significant. It now appears that President @realDonaldTrump has intervened to join the US Supreme Court case of Texas + 17 states too:
