This Texas lawsuit can decide the OUTCOME of the 2020 Presidential Election
If you wonder how can the Texas lawsuit affect the outcome of 2020 Presidential Election? Here are some expert opinions why THIS could be the ONE
Original Jurisdiction:
Father Frank Pavone:
“It’s interesting you don’t see it happen a whole lot but a state can sue another state and that’s what has happened here and when a state sues another state again to get into some of the constitutional aspects of this, something is invoked called Original Jurisdiction which means instead of like most other cases working their way up the ladder through the lower courts which takes time they go immediately and directly to the Supreme Court because it’s a matter of one state versus another so you go immediately and directly to the supreme court.”
Lawsuit Claim Highlight 1:
The four states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens, but also of Texas and other states that held lawful elections
Andy Ekonomou, Senior Counsel, ACLJ:
“What this is saying is you violated Equal Protection of the law in the way you conducted you states who are defendants in the way you conducted your elections you diluted the electoral votes of the Texas people and you therefore violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution.”
Father Frank Pavone:
“What does Texas have to do with what goes on in Michigan Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia? Well what it has to do with is if by conducting if by instituting illegal and unconstitutional changes in the way that the election was carried out all this mail-in ballot stuff and so forth you favored the Democrats okay because that’s what in fact it does Democrats will tend to use the the the mail-in ballots rather than show up in person if your electoral votes therefore were steered in the direction of the Democrats and are illegal that disenfranchises the voters in our state because the impact of the results is on the whole country we have one president over the whole country and so a state can say to another state if you acted unconstitutionally, you are in other words canceling out the legitimate votes in our state. If you get to change your rules at the last minute but we don’t get to change ours; if you can change your rules in a way that benefits one party, why can’t we change our rules in a way that benefits the other party. If you guys can bypass the state legislature to change your election rules when the constitution gives the authority to change those rules to the state legislature but you guys can go ahead and bypass your state legislature and make changes that you like to make hey we’re over here we’re following the law we’re following the constitution“
Lawsuit Claim Highlight 2:
When a state conducts its election in violation of its own laws, the state legislatures shall claim back its authority, granted by the Constitution, to appoint electors
Robert Henneke, General Counsel, Texas Public Policy Foundation:
“and the argument is that when the states passed election laws and delegated that to a election type process when those legal requirements weren’t followed it rendered the result unconstitutional and so an outcome with the Supreme Court would be to agree that when states break their own rules in the administering and the of elections and accounting of votes then that cannot result in a constitutional outcome so it has to be sent back to the state legislatures which are the bodies under the constitution vested with the power to choose the electors for that state“
This Lawsuit Can Decide the Outcome of 2020 Presidential Election
Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel, ACLJ:
“This is the most significant of the cases filed and it’s the most significant because it is as Jordan just said completely outcome determinative what does that mean it means that if the court were to rule in favor of Texas those four states the states named in the complaint would in fact have their state legislatures determine the outcome; they would pick the electors“
Jordan Sekulow, Executive Director, ACLJ:
“To point out here is that one of the options that if the electoral college votes aren’t redistributed through new electors by state legislatures, Congress gets involved and even though the house is controlled by Democrats they don’t control state delegations”
Nathanael Bennett, Director of Government Affairs, ACLJ:
“This is even a greater majority so to speak than it was last congress last congress republicans only controlled 26 delegations and there was one tie. Jordan now they’re going to control 27 and two of them are going to be tied so essentially that’s a 27 to 21 delegation advantage if it goes to congress President Trump would certainly have the advantage“
