Wow, that's the shortest news article I've ever seen... something is off. And I can't find any more information, weird. Oh, BTW, 17 isn't half of the states, that would be 25. But it really depends on what those 17 states are, which the story doesn't mention.
I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but the Texas AG that filed the law suit was indicted in 2015 on felony fraud charges and has been dragging out the case ever since. It's a federal charge, so, all Trump would need to do is sign a piece of paper and all that would go away...but he would have to sign it before Biden takes office about 965 hours from now.
