THE AMICUS BRIEF SHOWS THE NEED TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY AND FAIRNESS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PROCESS BY ENFORCING 3 U.S.C. § 2 AGAINST THE POST-ELECTION-DAY TRANSGRESSIONS OF THE FOUR DEFENDANT STATES
Plaintiff Texas correctly argues that various constitutional provisions and Title 3 section 2 of the United States Code (3 U.S.C. § 2) warrant relief against the four defendant States.
Texas correctly argues that 3 U.S.C. § 2 authorizes State legislatures to step in and directly select Presidential electors in cases of failed Presidential elections.
But 3 U.S.C. § 2 also has another purpose. It requires State legislatures to tightly regulate the process of counting ballots for President whenever States run beyond election day in the counting process.
There is no more important issue and case now before this Court. The integrity and reliability of the nation’s electoral process rest in this Court’s hands.
Unless resolved now, the issues before this Court will fester, worsen and explode later, in the next election cycle, or sooner. For the sake of the nation and its democratic principles, it is an existential imperative that this Court grant the TRO, preliminary injunction,
and other relief which Texas seeks, and ultimately enter judgment in Texas’ favor.
