WE DO STILL HAVE A US CONSTITUTION, right?? Stinchfield on Newsmax: Texas, joined by: Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota and Louisiana… lawsuit filed in US Supreme Court, the gist is as follows: “First, they violated the Electors Clause of Article II of the Constitution when executive or judicial officials in the states changed the rules of the election without going through the state legislatures. The Electors Clause requires that each State “shall appoint” its presidential electors “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” Regardless of whether a state appoints its electors by a vote in the legislature or by a vote of the people, it is the state legislature — and only the state legislature — that sets the rules.
The second constitutional violation occurred when individual counties in each of the four states changed the way that they would receive, evaluate, or treat the ballots. Twenty years ago, in the landmark case of Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court held that it violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment when one Florida county treated ballots one way, and another Florida county treated ballots a different way. Voters had the constitutional right to have their ballots treated equally from county to county. Interviews Jordan Sekulow, Trump Legal Team Member
