Democratic Caucus of the Senate of Pennsylvania has filed in support of defendants in SC

Disappointingly, certain Pennsylvania Senate

Republicans, through its filing to this Court, have decided not to take a position on

this action by the State of Texas but rather to once again raise state claims that are

before this Court and that have been previously litigated and decided in state court.

This case is not appropriate for this Court’s original jurisdiction.

It is rare that this Court exercises original jurisdiction

Texas lacks standing.

Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution limits the jurisdiction of federal courts

to “cases” or “controversies.”

. This matter is moot.

Texas’s claims are moot. Texas filed this action on December 7, 2020, over a

month after the general election, two weeks following Pennsylvania Governor Wolf’s

certification of the election results and one day prior to the “safe harbor” deadline

under 3 U.S.C. § 5.

Texas is not entitled to the extraordinary preliminary injunction it

seeks.

Texas asks this Court to issue an injunction, or, alternatively, a stay, that

would bar Pennsylvania, as well as three other states, from certifying its election

results and from participating in the Electoral College. Motion at 1-2.

Texas’s attempt to disenfranchise voters across the United States is a

harmful affront to the public interest of Pennsylvania and the nation.

CONCLUSION

For the reasons set forth above, the Court should deny the motion for leave to

file a bill of complaint and the motion for preliminary injunction and temporary

restraining order or, altern

atively, for stay and administrative stay.
