Subject: RE: BS: 2020 national election, USA - BIDEN wins Nov 7
From National Public Radio:The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday night rejected an eleventh hour challenge to Joe Biden's election as president.
The court's action came in a one-page order, which said the complaint was denied "for lack of standing."
Texas, supported by President Trump, tried to sue Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan, claiming fraud, without evidence. But in order for a state to bring a case in court, especially the Supreme Court, a state must show it has been injured. In essence, the court said Texas could not show that it was injured by the way other states conducted their elections.
As I explained to my wife, "lack of standing" means that it's none of Texas's goddamn business how Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan conduct elections within their borders.
Texas may restrict absentee ballots and allow only one ballot drop box per county, but that doesn't mean that other states have to follow suit.
We need to bring back the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and put a stop to these attempts to suppress voters.
Hurray!
