SCOTUS throws out TX lawsuit contesting 2020 election results

In a few brief sentences, the high court said it would not consider the case for procedural reasons, because Texas lacked standing to bring it. “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections,” the court wrote in an unsigned ruling Friday evening.
