Supreme Court Rejects Texas Suit Challenging Biden’s Victory

The court, in a brief unsigned order, said Texas lacked standing to pursue the case, saying it has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.

The move, coupled with a one-sentence order on Tuesday turning away a similar request from Pennsylvania Republicans, signaled that the court refused to be drawn into President Trump s losing campaign to overturn the results of the election last month.

There will continue to be scattered litigation brush fires around the nation from Mr. Trump s allies, but as a practical matter the Supreme Court s action puts an end to any prospect that Mr. Trump will win in court what he lost at the polls.

JJ. Thomas and Alito voted for taking the case (it had standing) but said they would not grant the relief.
