Texas Files Suit

It looks like Texas is filing suit directly with the Supreme Court against four battleground states. 

In papers filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, Paxton claimed the states unlawfully enacted last-minute changes, which skewed the results of the general election.

The papers also allege that the majority of the rushed decisions, made by local officials, were not approved by the state legislatures, thereby circumventing the Constitution.

The Constitution says that the various state legislatures will determine how electors are chosen.  If officials make last-minute changes to the vote protocols, then those changes are likely un-constitutional.   Now, the Supremes get to weigh in on the question.  What do you want to bet that John Roberts (hack, spit) will try to punt on the question?
