Here's What Texas Argues

1. Government officials in those states, including judges, did not have the constitutional authority to make these changes.
2. There was “more favorable treatment allotted to votes” in areas “administered by local government under Democrat control.” The differential treatment violates the 14th amendment.
3. The states “acted unconstitutionally to lower their election standards… with the express intent to favor their candidate for president.”
4. Texas asks that state legislatures be directed “to appoint a new set of presidential electors in a manner that does not violate the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment, or to appoint no presidential electors at all.”
