> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > The RNC and Ronna McDaniel have conspired to keep the fraudulent President Joe Biden in office. They “got to” several of the Republican attorneys-general and strong-armed them into not signing onto the lawsuit. We need to have a reporter ask “Mr. Pillow” if he blames himself for not doing a better job of contingency planning. ---

You are probably correct but I do think there may be a chance, albeit remote, that he may have Ken Paxton, AG of Texas, signed on. Paxton is a crook and nut job who is running for reelection while under indictment and investigation by the Feds. I can see Paxton thinking this may be a good strategy to keep the Trumpets in his corner for the primary. ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > You are probably correct but I do think there may be a chance, albeit remote, that he may have Ken Paxton, AG of Texas, signed on. From what I’m reading on Law Twitter, the main thrust of Lindell’s suit is identical to the one Paxton used (and may have been written by the same lawyer) when he tried to sue the states last year, which the Supreme Court denied for lack of standing. Filing the same suit twice doesn’t sound like a smart move to me. ---
