Two States That Don't Exist Apparently Just Filed Brief in Support of TX Lawsuit to Overturn Election

Two States That Don't Exist Apparently Just Filed Brief in Support of TX Lawsuit to Overturn Election

Despite outgoing President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden, Republicans across the country are backing Trump's unprecedented effort to overturn the results of a presidential election.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit on behalf of his state in the Supreme Court against four swing states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin—all of which Biden won.


Unlike Trump's lie-ridden Twitter feed, the lawsuit doesn't assert that widespread voter fraud actually tipped the race to Biden, but that pandemic-induced changes to each state's elections process violated federal law and made any potential fraud undetectable.

The case has been summarily mocked by experts who believe that even the conservative Supreme Court won't grant the case standing, citing its faulty math and the ridiculous argument that states should be able to dictate the election laws of other states in the union, potentially overturning their election results.

Nevertheless, multiple red states have filed amicus briefings in support of the suit and even filed to intervene and join the plaintiffs.

Now—in an even more ridiculous turn—states that don't actually exist are filing amicus briefings in hopes of bolstering the shoddy case.

Robert E. Thomas III filed an amicus brief on behalf of the nonexistent states "New California" and "New Nevada," claiming that voters who registered on the day of the election were treated differently than voters who registered early, and that "disparate treatment is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."

The brief generated even more ridicule and rebuke for the attempted overthrow of the election.






Some are accusing the fake states of sedition, along with the 126 very real Republican lawmakers who filed briefings supporting the suit.



Despite their protests, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be inaugurated on January 20th.

Megyn Kelly Tells 'Homicidal Maniac' Lindsey Graham To 'STFU' About Iran War In Brutal Rant

Conservative pundit Megyn Kelly criticized South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday, calling him a "homicidal maniac" and demanding he "shut the f**k up" following his calls for intervention in Cuba and for President Donald Trump to join Israel in attacking the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

In particular, Graham urged Middle Eastern partners to do more to support the U.S. war effort, telling countries such as Saudi Arabia to “up your game.” He also criticized Spain after its leadership strongly opposed the attacks on Iran. Graham said Spain had “lost your way,” and called on the U.S. to cut ties with the country and withdraw its military air base from Spanish territory.

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was called out after he predicted on Fox News that the U.S. is "gonna obliterate" Iran's nuclear program by the time the recently-initiated war with the country is over, prompting critics to point out that he directly contradicted President Donald Trump's own claim from last summer.

Graham, discussing the war that began after the U.S., with the joint coordination of Israel, launched strikes against Iran on February 28, claimed Trump is “the right guy at the right time” because of Tehran’s supposed nuclear program.
