The US Supreme Court last Friday rejected a bid launched by Texas and backed by President Trump that sought to undo② Joe Biden’s election wins in the key swing states③ of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The ruling dealt a death blow to④ Trump’s desperate and unsuccessful efforts to reverse Biden’s projected Electoral College victory. The court, in a brief unsigned order, said Texas lacked standing⑤ to pursue⑥ the case, saying it “has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable⑦ interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.” It came three days before electors are set to cast their ballots in their respective states, finalizing Biden’s win.

12月11日，美国最高法院驳回得克萨斯州起诉。这份诉讼得到了特朗普支持，力求裁定乔·拜登在佐治亚、密歇根、宾夕法尼亚、威斯康星四个关键摇摆州取得的胜利无效。预计拜登将取得选举团胜利，特朗普拼命反击，但屡屡失败。此次高院裁定给了特朗普致命一击。在一份未签署的简短命令中，最高法院称，得克萨斯州缺乏此案的起诉权，称其“没有证明其他州的选举方式有损其司法上可审理的利益”。此事距离12月14日选举人在各州投票敲定拜登胜选还有三天。
