... and yet, to date, no fraud has been proven in any court after more than 50 cases.

Anyone can claim anything, proving it is another matter.

You don't have to prove fraud to prove that States changed election laws in violation of their own constitutions and the Federal Constitution.

sheesh

I showed what you said.

No States have been shown in court to have "changed their election laws, etc."

Whether they changed their laws or not is not debatable. The states aren’t even denying this. Maybe try to keep up.

Now being reported that 17 States are Amicus Curiae

Britannica

The Supreme Court of the United States, however, permits federal, state, and local governments to submit their views in any case that concerns them without obtaining the consent of either the court or the parties.

All across postings it's been spammed that it was irrelevant for States to support the Texas suit as they were not party in suit - looks like that opinion was completely off base. Amicus Curiae allows the so far 17 States to enter information into the Texas suit without consent.

Zerohedge

Update (1555ET): A total of seventeen US states filed a brief at the US Supreme Court on Wednesday in support of Texas's bid to overturn the election results.

BOOM or Kraken, maybe both.

That looks like it's correct. Currently no case number so at this point the Justices still need to decide to accept it or not.

I'll be damned.

Now that IS interesting!

Texas wants to dictate to other States how to run their elections?

So much for States Rights, eh?

Fascinating times, if it's true.

Hmmm ... the document was uploaded to Scribd by Breitbart.

Kind of like how the blue states want to bypass the electoral college and pledge their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner instead of representing the actual voters in their states?

17 states have joined this suit thus far.

Good catch. Make that 18 states.

I am not gonna hold my breath that the supreme court is gonna actually start doing their job now. Would love to be pleasantly surprised though. Maybe if they do, they will also stop ignoring 2nd amendment and put their big boy pants on and explain to the left what shall not be infringed means.

I've got a bad feeling Roberts is gonna try to throw a monkey wrench.

That's probably an accurate feeling. The scotus is likely to take the path of least resistance on this, because they're going to cover their own butts at all costs. It seems few people are left in this country that are willing to abide by and defend our constitution, but I'd love to be wrong on this one.

The job of the courts isn't to rule on laws in the way you think they should. It's to follow the laws, often created by a lot of legal precedence and rules. And sometimes things that they are asked to do are not within their provenance.

You may not like it (I may not like their ruling) but this doesn't mean they're not doing their job.

This is a cornerstone argument in the TX Complaint. The courts made election laws via 'friendly' lawsuits rather than the state legislatures.

(...and local election officials and by executive fiat, too.)

Option 4: Cancellation of election. Status quo.

According to MSM this is a waste of time, so there’s still hope.

If I ever moved to the US it would be Texas, seems like my kind of place. Good old fashioned conservative America, land of the free and home of the brave. God I miss that picture of you guys over the pond. Assuming Texas will be the last bastion of hope as the world descends into this god awful upside down socialist mess. Wait till they try and take your guns.

Who would have thought Texas would be the last place striving for a fair and just democratic process.

Well, by denying this meritless lawsuit, they will be doing there job. But glad to see that your expectations are in the realm of reality.

Alright, who opened that window?

Again, glad to see that reality is finally setting in.

Reading Twitter comments.. Very rare leftists seems to understand what this means.
