Republican Texas attorney general Ken Paxton announced a lawsuit, focusing on election battleground states that U.S. President Donald Trump lost to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Some officials from Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, called it an 'attack' at democracy. Meanwhile, some legal experts gave it little chance to succeed.Supreme Court received the lawsuit instead of a lower court, according to Fox News.

Trump has claimed winning another term of presidency and has made allegations of voting fraud. A professor and election law expert at Georgetown University's law school said that Texas did not have a legitimate basis for the suit.

Paul Smith said that there is no possible way that the state of Texas has standing to complain about how other states tallied the votes, as well as how they are going to certify it.

The lawsuit shows the latest efforts brought by the Republican president's campaign and supporters to reverse Trump's loss to Biden during the Nov. 3 election.

However, lawsuits filed have not gone far ahead. The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a bid by Pennsylvania Republicans to stop the state from certifying Biden's victory in the state.

The Texas lawsuit argued that the altercations made by the four states to voting procedures to were unlawful. The changes were made amid the COVID-19 pandemic, expanding mail-in voting for the election.

Texas made a request of the Supreme Court to immediately block the four states from using the voting results to appoint presidential electors to the Electoral College.

This essentially means erasing the will of the voters, as reported by Reuters.

Texas wants to appoint electors

Biden has collected 306 electoral votes, which exceeds the needed 270. This as compared to Biden's 232 in the state-by-state Electoral College that determines the election's result.

Biden also won the national popular vote by more than seven million votes. The four key states contributed 62 electoral votes to Biden's count in total.

Electoral College electors are usually are party loyalists, promising to vote for the candidate who wins a state's popular vote.

Meanwhile, Texas wants the legislatures in the four states to appoint their own slate of electors, rather than relying on the votes cast by the voters.

In addition, Texas also asked the Supreme Court to delay the Dec. 14 date if Electiral College votes to be cast. This was a date set by law in 1887.

Meanwhile, Democrats and other critics have accused Trump of trying to reduce public confidence in U.S. election integrity, as well as undermine democracy.

"The erosion of confidence in our democratic system isn't attributable to the good people of Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia or Pennsylvania but rather to partisan officials, like Mr. Paxton," Michigan's Democratic Attorney General was quoted on a report.

Attorney General Dana Nessel added that Paxton placed his loyalty to a person instead of his country.
