I saw a claim that the Louisiana AG joined the suit. Is that accurate, or wishful thinking?
Yes, it's true. The Louisiana AG has joined the Texas suit, along with a host of others.
Is it wishful thinking? Yeah, I believe so. I suspect that the Court will deny the suit. However, I think that the American public deserves more than a single-line denial. I'd like to see some opining about the nature of elections, and who is approved to change rules during a pandemic. I'd like to see their thoughts, for example, on how they square what happened in Pennsylvania with the Constitution.
I believe that the Republicans have an opportunity here, to strengthen voting laws, to toughen the integrity o elections. We won a bunch of down-ballot seats all across the nation, and we should not let this defeat go to waste.
The Georgia election will surely be a bellwether on the course of the nation for the net two years. I say two years, because there are congressional elections in two years, and we have an opportunity to re-take the House. Biden's policy choices certainly won't follow conservative norms, but I think that we can show the folly of let-wing governance and turn the party and the nation more toward the center.
I don't expect the Supremes to overturn the election, but I hope that their answer is "Well, the Deocrats cheat better than the Republicans".
