The US election has been decided for weeks.
Still, Donald Trump remains persistent and continues to challenge the election results.
He is supported by parts of his party.
Joe Biden has been
President-elect of the
United States for
weeks
.
Texas has
filed a lawsuit
against election results in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
The lawsuit is supported by
17 Republican attorneys at law.
Washington - For weeks the outgoing US President
Donald Trump
* has not missed an opportunity
to delegitimize
Joe Biden's
election victory
and declare himself the winner.
Several
attempts at
legal action
by his attorneys have since been unsuccessfully thrown out in US courts.
Regardless of this, the US president continues to receive lively support from within its own ranks.
In light of
the recent defeat in the US Supreme Court, the
renewed attempt by Texas to invalidate the election result is astonishing.
There are now
17 Republican Justice Ministers
from the 50 US states declared in a petition to support the lawsuit from Texas * before the Constitutional Court.
After losing the US election: Texas and 17 ministers step into the breach for Trump
Texas Republican Attorney General,
Ken Paxton
, wants the lawsuit to
invalidate
election results in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin
.
In the motion,
Texas
argues
that the four states were not allowed to make changes to the postal voting system during the
coronavirus
*
pandemic
.
With the lawsuit, Texas seeks to prevent the four states from using their votes in the Electoral College.
In all four swing states, i.e. states in which there is no clear majority for the republican or democratic candidate, the democrat
Joe Biden was
able to win the election for himself.
Wow!
At least 17 States have joined Texas in the extraordinary case against the greatest election Fraud in the history of the United States.
Thank you!

After US election: US Supreme Court rejects Trump's lawsuit
In the past few weeks,
Trump had
repeatedly expressed the hope that the election would not be decided by the voters, but by the
US
Supreme Court
.
The Texas motion now followed a day after a lawsuit by
Donald Trump's
legal team was dismissed by the Supreme Court without comment.
With the lawsuit before the Constitutional Court,
Trump's
legal team originally
wanted to
withdraw the already certified election results from Pennsylvania.
It is also doubtful whether
Texas’s
new
lawsuit will
even be accepted by the
Constitutional Court
.
According to some
experts
, the application has no realistic chance.
Paul Smith, professor and electoral expert at Georgetown University's Law School, said in an interview with
Reuters,
“
There is no way
the state of Texas has the right to complain about
how other states counted the votes and how they cast their votes will be
".
Even if the application is denied, the input from the 17 attorneys at law shows that
Trump
continues to receive support for his handling of the lost
election
.
