Leslie Rutledge makes it official with Supreme Court filing: She wants to invalidate votes for Biden

Leslie Rutledge makes it official with Supreme Court filing: She wants to invalidate votes for Joe Biden in four states. PS: She is joining the Facebook antitrust case.


When Attorney General Leslie Rutledge gave her moral support to the widely discredited effort by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to prevent validation of votes for Joe Biden in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia, her office wouldn’t say exactly what she had in mind.

Today, the question was answered, with Arkansas on the list of Republican attorneys general asking to support the Texas request before the U.S. Supreme Court. Technically, it is in support of a motion to hear the Texas “case.”

Apart from general “concerns,” neither Rutledge nor Paxton nor any other legal action in support of Trump to date has offered specific evidence of fraud or wrongdoing. In the Texas case, Paxton wants the U.S. Supreme Court to become activists for Trump and rewrite state law and state court decisions on voting law changes that Texas thinks helped Joe Biden.

Missouri was the lead filer on the amicus request. Joining in support: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia. The thrust is that mail voting, used more heavily this year, is an invitation to fraud. No evidence of that. And I don’t know where the strict constructionist will find a constitutional reference to the dangers, but that was before Donald Trump put three people on the Supreme Court and then asked them to do “right” and declare him president again.
