Sen. John Cornyn, the senior GOP senator from Texas, is critical of his state’s lawsuit challenging the election results in several battleground states, telling me: "I frankly struggle to understand the legal theory of it.”

“You know, it's very unusual because when a state sues a state, the Supreme Court of the United States has original jurisdiction, so you don't have to go through the ordinary procedure. I read just the summary of it, and I frankly struggle to understand the legal theory of it.”

“Number one, why would a state, even such a great state as Texas, have a say so on how other states administer their elections,” Cornyn said. “We have a diffused and dispersed system and even though we might not like it, they may think it's unfair...

“those are decided at the state and local level and not at the national level. So it's an interesting theory, but I'm not convinced,” he told me
