What a stupid post. Everybody knows evidence was submitted, and rejected without being examined. The Supreme court stopped the one from Texac AG Paxton for "lack of standing" which has nothing to do with merit. The court never looked at the evidence.
“The state of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution,” the court said in a brief order shutting down the case.
“Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognisable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.”
That order says nothing at all about the merits of Mr Paxton’s voter fraud claims, which were broadly the same as Mr Trump’s
Some context is required here. When a plaintiff files a lawsuit – and this is not just true of election cases, by the way – they must convince the court that they have a right under the law to do so. The legal term for this is “standing”.
If the plaintiff does not have that right, the case fails at the first hurdle and everything else becomes irrelevant. That is what happened here.
Texas was trying to sue four other states – Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin – over their handling of mail-in ballots for the presidential election.
Under the US Constitution, however, each state gets to decide how it runs its own election. Texas might not like how, say, Pennsylvania chooses to do things, but legally it has no say on the matter. The only way to challenge Pennsylvania’s rules is from
within Pennsylvania.
This works both ways.
Democrats in California, for example, could not sue Texas for something like voter suppression. It’s none of their business.
So,
Mr Paxton’s lawsuit did not get far enough for any of its claims to be considered. The Supreme Court ruled Texas had no standing to bring the case in the first place, and that was that.
