In the midst of an unprecedented challenge to the outcome of last month's Presidential election in the United States, the suit filed by the state of Texas before the Supreme Court of the United States seemed to represent the decisive legal battleground over the 2020 election fraud.  The Texas suit charged that the voting process and counting in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania violated federal law, and the rights of voters to have an honest election.  Both sides were prepared for an explosive conclusion: a total of 18 states filed amici briefs in support of Texas, and six of those states filed a motion to intervene, indicating additional strong support for Texas’s initiative.  Joining those states, 106 Republican Congressmen signed onto a brief to file a separate motion of amicus curiae with Texas. On the other side, 22 other states plus the District of Columbia filed a brief backing the four states, to counter the Texas suit.
