The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a lawsuit brought by the Texas attorney general to annul the electoral results of four key states in the defeat of the still president -Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin-, and left the legal crusade underway practically dead by the still president to reverse the elections waving the specter of a fraud.

The resolution joins that of last Tuesday, which also rejected a Republican attempt by Pennsylvania in the same direction, and makes it clear that the country's highest judicial authority, with a conservative majority, will not participate in the president's unusual campaign.

Yes, it has been done by numerous senior officials and members of the Republican Party, fellow travelers in more than fifty judicial initiatives, each and every one of them unsuccessful.

This latest lawsuit from Texas has been one of the most puzzling, brought by Attorney General Ken Paxton directly to the Supreme Court in order to cancel the scrutiny of four other territories.

“Texas has not shown a judicial interest in its jurisdiction in the way another State has conducted its elections.

The rest of the pending motions are rejected as debatable, ”says the high court in its brief brief.

In addition to the support of the president himself, the Texas attempt had the support of a hundred Republicans in Congress and more than a dozen attorneys from states of the same political color.

Paxton alleged before the high court that Joe Biden had won thanks to "illegal ballots" in those territories, a fraud caused by a relaxation of the rules of early voting and by mail (which a large number of States have promoted by the pandemic).

Thus, he asked that the legislative chambers of those States be the ones to grant the final vote.

Trump has launched unsubstantiated allegations of fraud throughout the campaign, claiming that the barrage of vote-by-mail was fertile ground for irregularities.

As soon as the loser was sensed, already on election night, he advanced that he would take him to justice.

With the final results, Biden is the clear winner of the elections, with six million votes ahead of Trump, and after having recovered for the Democrats those territories that the Republican has claimed for himself in multiple lawsuits: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan , Arizona and Georgia.

However, no judge, regardless of their political color, nor his own Justice Department has found a trace of an outrage at the polls with entities to alter that result.

There are still some pending legal issues, but the Supreme Court has left Trump's battle against the polls mortally wounded.

This Monday the Electoral College will give the final votes to the Democrat.

The Americans elect their president indirectly: their popular votes serve to elect delegates who are the ones who, next Monday, December 14, will confirm Biden's victory.

He obtained 306 of the 538 electoral votes at stake (it takes 270 to win), compared to 232 for Trump.

On January 6, Congress must count those votes and on the 20th Biden takes office.

But Trump does not plan to admit defeat.

His most loyal followers, either.

This Saturday they have called again a demonstration in Washington to protest against this alleged fraud and ask their leader not to give in.
