President Trump says he will intervene in Texas' election case before the Supreme Court.

"President Trump on Wednesday suggested he will intervene in a case brought by the state of Texas against other states alleging election fraud in yet another last-gasp effort to subvert the outcome of the presidential election. 'We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!' Trump tweeted.'" (The Hill)

• President Trump indicated that he will intervene in Texas' election case before the Supreme Court -- and potentially others.

• Yesterday the Texas Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The lawsuit challenges the states' electors to the Electoral College.

• According to The Hill, the Supreme Court "has not yet indicated whether it will hear the case." The clock is ticking: the electors for the Electoral College will meet in just five days.

• The central argument that the Texas AG has made: that the four states allegedly "unlawfully enact[ed] last-minute changes" to voting procedures, which the suit argues "skew[ed] the results of the 2020 General Election" and allegedly made voting in these states "less secure."

• The lawsuit asks for two things, according to Reuters:

-- "block the Electoral College votes in the four states -- a total of 62 votes -- from being counted"; that would result in a 234-232 Electoral College split and the vote would head to Congress as neither candidate cleared 270 Electoral College Votes

-- "delay the Dec. 14 date for Electoral College votes to be cast"

• This type of case is unprecedented, as one election law expert explained to CNBC: "It’s totally unprecedented, the idea that one state would, at the Supreme Court, claim that other states’ votes were cast in the wrong way — that’s never happened."

• The case may also come down to a question of procedure and standing, i.e. ability to file the suit, rather than the merits of Texas' allegations about voting security.

Supreme Court unanimously declines to overturn Pennsylvania results in pending election case.

"The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Republicans’ attempt to reverse Pennsylvania’s certification of its election results, which showed a victory for President-elect Joe Biden. The unanimous ruling, issued without comment, means the court declined to question the state’s certification process." (Daily Caller)

• The Supreme Court unanimously declined to throw out ballots or overturn the election results as certified in Pennsylvania, which a pending lawsuit had requested.

• Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), among others, had filed suit to challenge Pennsylvania's expanded voting by mail procedures. The suit argued that it should have been completed "through the constitutional amendment process, which would have required a statewide ballot question, among other procedural steps" -- instead of a vote by the state legislature.

• Rep. Kelly's lawsuit had asked that all mail-in ballots in the state be disqualified, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected that.

House GOP members ask President Trump to appoint special counsel to investigate the 2020 election.
