The Supreme Court on Monday declined once again to take up a lawsuit filed by Republicans claiming that the 2020 presidential election was tainted by voter fraud. The ruling is a signal that the justices want no part in Donald Trump’s false claim that he was robbed of his second term.
In their lawsuit, Republicans who argued that “the state high court exceeded its authority when it ordered the expansion of ballot deadlines amidst the pandemic.”
however, as noted by CNN, “the justices had already declined several requests to dive into one of the most litigious elections in history, denying petitions from then-President Donald Trump and other Republicans seeking to overturn election result in multiple states President Joe Biden won.”
University of Texas School of Law Professor Steve Vladeck reacted to the ruling by saying: “Once again, the court’s involvement in the 2020 election is going out with a whimper, not a bang.”
CNN also reported that there were no dissents included in the decision
