Paxson says something significant that is quoted in your article.
"The constitutional issue is not whether v**ers committed fraud but whether state officials violated the law by systematically loosening the measures for b****t integrity so that fraud becomes undetectable," Paxton writes in his suit.
Do you deny that a lot of states made rule changes this year? Do you deny that many of those changes were made by governors, secretaries of state and judges rather than by state legislatures? Because if those things occurred, and they did, then Paxson's statement is correct.
The issue is and always has been illegal e******n rules changes. Fraud or no fraud, the rule changes altered the outcome of the e******n and many of those rule changes were unconstitutional either at the state or federal level, and in some cases at both levels.
Asking people to follow the Constitution is not s******n. And, the right will accept that Biden is president. We just will believe that the e******n was s****n and will pray that Biden and Harris do not do irreparable harm to the nation in the next two years.
Once they screw up it is quite likely that Republicans will regain control of the house in two years, but who knows how much damage Biden et al can do between now and then with executive orders and things like rejoining the Paris Accords and the Iran nuclear deal. Bad policy decisions to say the least.
Texas lost in court, but that does not make Paxson's point untrue. It just means that the Supreme Court views this as a states rights issue and as such Texas has no legal standing to interfere in other states e******n process.
The Constitutionality of most of the e******n rules changes has never been adjudicated. The courts threw out most of the cases without deciding on the legality of the e******n rules changes, instead the filings were primarily thrown out because of lack of legal standing, as with the Texas case, or because the filings were moot because results were already certified. No one has bothered to ever look at most of the rule changes as to whether or not they are constitutional and unfortunately they probably never will now.
