First step fails ....
but the saga still continues, even though law experts deride it....:
This is not the end of legal challenges to Mr Biden's victory. Republicans in the state of Texas filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court on Tuesday accusing four other states of election irregularities - a challenge legal experts have sharply criticised.
Plaintiffs want the court to stop the use of "unlawful election results without review and ratification by the defendant states' legislatures".

'In his mind, he will not have lost'
One law professor at the University of Texas tweeted that this was "a new leader in the 'craziest lawsuit filed to purportedly challenge the election' category", while another law professor at the University of California dismissed it as a "press release masquerading as a lawsuit" in a blog post.
