Let’s call Texas’s lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin what it is: a public relations stunt with very little hope of legal success.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced last week that his office would file suit against the four battleground states, alleging that executive and election officials in each state illegally tweaked voting rules, thereby guaranteeing a win for President-elect Joe Biden. Seventeen other states have joined the suit, as has President Trump, in an effort to bring the matter before the Supreme Court. But it’s unlikely the high court will even take up the case, let alone rule in Texas’s favor.
