Without the fraud cited in the suit actually occurring, TX can not claim to have been harmed by the changes.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 9:55 amI understood the case to be about the illegality of electoral changes by the state executives, without consent of the legislature.
I don’t believe that ‘fraud’ was mentioned until Trump chimed in. I think he sunk the case by being unable to keep his mouth shut.
However, they also argued that the election changes made the fraud undetectable.
Our courts only deal with detectable crimes, so the TX suit relied heavily on the the idea that other states didn't legally change their election rules, but the theory of harm required for TX to have standing and sue relied on crimes that were rendered undetectable.
On top of all that, the constitution is very clear that states get to run their elections and choose their electors however they want. The changes states made to their elections rules would only be illegal according to the states laws, written and interpreted by the state courts, not the US Constitution.
