Pray tell - what are the merits?

What possible standing and merit is there in Texas claiming Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania don't have the legal authority to determine how their own elections are handled?

Epic dodge, shifting goalposts from merit to standing, rofl.

Au contraire. I rather expect them to enforce the constitution as if it is a life and death matter for the future of the republic, because that's exactly what it is. And regardless of whether or not Biden or Trump won, I think the voting process in the US is in need of a revamp. Konfab is right, the USA should at least be able to get their elections done as competently as we do. A couple of states having their results voided would be exactly the right sort of kick in the pants to ensure that this becomes a serious priority. Smug comments on this thread aside, there's been no serious discounting of a constellation of dodgy behaviours by several election officials. And enough of this stupid whiny garbage about voter disenfranchisement regarding the implementation of voter-ID.

Are you going to slink off and not use this username again like you did with Xarog when the SC kicks this ridiculous case out?

I think you mean "Texas has a stupid Trumper Governor who believes in conspiracy theories and is angling for a pardon".

Well, they do have a stupid Governor, but in this case it's the stupid AG who's under indictment for numerous things.

Law & order, conservative style.

Armed Mexicans Were Smuggled In to Guard Border Wall, Whistle-Blowers Say (Published 2020)

In a complaint unsealed on Friday, whistle-blowers working on President Trump’s wall said that contractors were illegally bringing in Mexican guards to protect construction sites.

Two whistle-blowers have accused contractors building President Trump’s border wall of smuggling armed Mexican security teams into the United States to guard construction sites, even building an illegal dirt road to speed the operation, according to court documents unsealed by a federal judge on Friday.

The two employees, who were both contracted to provide security at the sites, accused the company, Sullivan Land Services Co., or S.L.S. — as well as a subcontractor, Ultimate Concrete of El Paso — of hiring workers who were not vetted by the United States government, overcharging for construction costs and making false statements about those actions.

dunno if it has merit as such but they've dug up something about "if two or more states disagree...something, something, something"

The Trump lot sure are keen to somehow get this to the SC aren't they? Can't have all that frantic scrambling to get a new conservative judge appointed after the death of RBG, against all previously stated principles, go to waste now can we.

Kind of looks like that was always the plan. Goes with what Trump has been doing and saying these last few months. And making money out of it.

Now you are just denying how you smuggled in the concept of standing into your question as if it never had any significance. I mean come ON. :rolleyes: :ROFL:

But yeah, I'm with @DavidFreeman on this. The fact that I do not like how your responses avoid dealing with the merits does not obligate me to inform you as to what I think the merits are. In the unlikely event that your request is sincere, you surely know enough to do your own research on your own steam.

I included standing yes, but I specifically asked about merit, you dishonest clown.

Yeah, we know you are, Xarog. ;)

And yeah, totally telling that you don't want to "inform" us what you think the merits are. Because on the merits it's complete tripe.
