The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday rejected Texas’s bid to challenge the 2020 election results in four battleground states.

In an order, the justices denied Texas’s request to sue Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, opining that the Lone Star State lacked legal standing—or capability—to sue under the Constitution because it has not shown a valid interest to intervene in how other states handle their elections.
