Missouri and five other states on Thursday threw their support even further behind the Texas lawsuit aiming to prevent Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin's electors from casting their electoral votes by asking the Supreme Court to let them join the Texas suit. The Texas suit is unique in that it seeks to take advantage of the Supreme Court's rarely used original jurisdiction for cases in which states sue other states. There is also the fact the "safe-harbor" day for elector selection has already passed, which Olson says harms Texas' case too. "Not without a radical (and hence, certain to be perceived a politically motivated) change in standing doctrine," will the Supreme Court say that Texas and the other states may sue. Shapiro also said he believes it could be positive if the Supreme Court weighs in on the Texas case to quash doubts about this election.
