BISMARCK, ND – Emails indicate North Dakota’s attorney general signed onto the Texas lawsuit over the presidential election despite expectations from some of his top officials that the legal challenge would fail.
The state’s deputy solicitor general told Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem he thought the high court would deny the case “in one sentence.”
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the lawsuit which 17 states signed onto in support of Texas’ claim which sought to overturn the electoral votes in several key states on the grounds that non-legislative officials had wrongly changed election procedures because of the coronavirus pandemic.
