Republican attorneys general in six states are now trying to intervene in Texas’ “Hail Mary” lawsuit attempting to overturn the presidential election results in the U.S.
Supreme Court. President Trump on Wednesday described the case as “the big one” even as legal experts and other Republicans widely deride the litigation as meritless and sure to fail.
Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Utah filed a motion to intervene Thursday in the Supreme Court case, which was filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and targets voting rules in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin, ultimately seeking to invalidate their presidential election results.
