Alaska Joins Amicus Supporting Texas in Elections Lawsuit

December 10, 2020

(Anchorage, AK) – Alaska submitted a letter to the United States Supreme Court (119K PDF) that adds Alaska to the list of amici states supporting Texas in its lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Amicus briefs, also known as “friend of the court” briefs, allow parties not directly involved in a lawsuit to show support in a case before the court. The request follows 19 other states that have supported Texas in its effort to safeguard the integrity of the election and ensure the election was fair and honest. The state expects the Supreme Court to act quickly to decide this matter.
