Most of the country is focused on who gets elected President.

The Constitution guarantees each state EQUAL representation in the Senate (this is why each state has two Senators, from California all the way down to Wyoming).

Texas is suing the other states claiming they stole the election.

The Vice President casts a tiebreaking vote on every issue that gets stuck in the Senate by the way of a tie.

THEREFORE, Texas’ allegation is that the states that stole the election, VIOLATED Texas’ right to equal representation in the Senate, because even though the whole world is focused on who gets elected President, we also (obviously) elect a Vice President. And because the stolen election would make Kamala Harris the Vice President, the argument here is that the states violated Texas’ (and other states’) right to equal representation in the Senate by unlawfully and fraudulently electing the person who gets to break any ties which would eventually arise.

They’re forcing the Supreme Court to play ball by hopefully making them say, “you’re right, elections have consequences and each state has the right to rest assured that the person casting the tiebreaker vote in the Senate was rightfully elected to that position.”

Hopefully I did an alright job of explaining that.

Thank you for that breakdown. I'm like the person you responded to. My brain bursts 4 lines into a lawyers writing. I just found that out about me today. I used to think I was somewhat smart too. Haha
