   The case, in which Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin of casting a “dark shadow of doubt over the outcome of the entire election,” attracted the attention of President Trump Wednesday, who tweeted his support of the challenge. The court docketed it Tuesday and requested that legal representatives for the four states respond by Thursday afternoon. Texas will then have a chance to reply, and the court is expected to make a decision shortly afterward.
   ...
   In an amicus brief in support of Paxton, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Wednesday told the court that mail-in voting in the election greatly increased the "risk of fraud." “States have a strong interest in ensuring that the votes of their own citizens are not diluted by the unconstitutional administration of elections in other States,” he wrote, in a document alleging the four states that went for President-elect Joe Biden imperiled “election integrity and public confidence in elections.”
   ...
   The suit comes on the heels of the court’s rejection of a similar case launched by Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Mike Kelly, which argued that the state’s use of mail-in ballots was unconstitutional. The court refused Kelly an injunction against the election results on the same day as the so-called “safe harbor deadline,” the date after which the Supreme Court has previously indicated that it will not consider election disputes.
