WASHINGTON – Texas request that the Supreme Court block Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin from casting their electoral votes for President-elect Joe Biden erupted Thursday into a war involving nearly every state in the nation.
The four battleground states fired back at the challenge mounted by Texas and joined by President Trump, with Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro labeling the effort to negate millions of citizens ballots a seditious abuse of the judicial process.
They were joined in opposition by 20 Democratic-led states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands and Guam, while smaller groups of Republican-led states lined up with Texas and the president. There was dissension on the GOP side, however, as Arizona and Ohio stood apart and Utah s elected officials took opposite sides.

President Donald Trump says his campaign supports the lawsuit filed by Texas at the U.S. Supreme Court seeking new elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin because of voting irregularities in those states. A total of 17 states have joined the court challenge in less than two days.
“We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning.
