Here's the response from my questions to Cathy McMorris Rogers the Republican Rep for much of Eastern WA.

"Thank you for contacting me about the Amicus Brief I joined regarding the lawsuit by Texas over the 2020 election.   

As I have said before, President Trump has every right to pursue legal recourse in response to claims of voter fraud and election impropriety. With historic turnout, razor-thin margins, and massive changes to voting processes in the midst of a global pandemic, many people have had questions about the election and its results. This case was about the Supreme Court answering those questions for the American people so we can all move forward together. 

The amicus brief specifically focused on Constitutional requirements for elections and the legal requirement that changes to election processes be approved by state legislatures, as well as the state laws which require election officials to check signatures on mail-in ballots. These are Constitutional principles of free and fair elections, and if they have been violated, the American people have a right to know. 

On December 11th, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up the lawsuit. You can read the Supreme Court’s denial by clicking here.  

While we may disagree on the President’s decision to pursue his legal options, know that as your advocate in Congress, my top priority is to listen to you, find common ground, and lead on solutions people in Eastern Washington can count on. Please stay in touch. If you would like to know what I’m doing on a more regular basis, I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter by clicking here."
