Assaults on democracy
The Hawk Eye
The Texas attorney general (who is under investigation for insider trading) with several other Republican state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court against four states where the vote for president was for Biden, asking that their votes be discarded as fraudulent.
As with the scores of other such lawsuits that have been filed and dismissed, there is no evidence of fraud.
The purpose is to overturn Biden’s election. Attorneys general in those four states as well as from other states have filed briefs in opposition.
In its last session, the Republican-controlled Iowa legislature attempted to emasculate Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, which was vetoed by Gov. Kim Reynolds only after Miller agreed not to file or join lawsuits unless she agreed.
