What Happened:

• Eighteen states have joined the lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to challenge the election results in Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania - all states won by Biden.

• The lawsuit, which bypassed lower courts and was filed directly before the Supreme Court, argues that these states unconstitutionally changed their voting processes to allow for mail-in voting and that those votes should not count.

• On Wednesday, the attorneys general of seventeen states (all states won by President Trump) filed an amicus brief in support of the Texas lawsuit. Those states include: Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) filed a separate brief on Thursday in support of the suit. Arizona is the only state that Biden won which supports the suit.

• The defendant states must file their opposition to the suit by 3 PM Thursday.
