Over the weekend, the Supreme Court dealt a heavy blow to the Trump campaign’s efforts to combat the 2020 election results. By rejecting to hear the Texas lawsuit that Florida also supported, the divide between Republicans and Democrats has only further grown as it becomes likelier that a Biden administration will be moving into the White House in January.
However, President Trump (R) has doubled down and said that his efforts are not over. Republican State Rep. Anthony Sabatini is in full support of Trump, calling out states that "violated the constitution" in spite of the electoral college meeting today to finalize the 2020 presidential election.
After news began to circulate regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to not move forward in hearing the Texas lawsuit, President Trump spoke to FOX News’ Brian Kilmeade and assured that “we keep going, and we’re going to continue to go forward.” Trump adding that “we have numerous local cases… in some of the states that got rigged and robbed from us.”
In explaining their decision to not move forward with the Texas lawsuit, the Supreme Court commented that Texas did not have the standing to pursue the case, explaining that it “has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.”
As the clock winds down on the Trump campaign to successfully combat the results of the election, Florida Rep. Sabatini took to social media to air his frustration over the handling of the election, calling for Congress to “REJECT the electoral votes from the states that violated the Constitution.”

The states in question are swing states, and to challenge the Supreme Court's blow, the Trump campaign filed "emergency filings" targeting the states of Georgia and Michigan with the Supreme Court.
The announcement was made by Attorney Sydney Powell, who commented that the cases filed "raise unconstitutional issues and prove massive fraud."
