Attorney General Curtis Hill released the following statement:
“In Indiana, we have steadfastly prioritized ensuring the integrity of elections. The year 2020 has seen an unprecedented number of changes in voting rules across the nation that require us to be more vigilant than ever in preserving the integrity of the election process. This fall, my office won significant victories resisting efforts to have courts modify our election laws on the fly.
“In several other states, however, numerous election rule changes, along with the highly publicized voting irregularities, have caused millions of Americans, including many Hoosiers, to question the integrity of this year’s extraordinarily close presidential contest.
“Our interest in the integrity of elections motivated my office to join several other states last month in challenging a Pennsylvania court decision that ignored the Constitution by rewriting and extending absentee-ballot deadlines contrary to deadlines enacted by that state’s legislature. In filing our brief opposing the Pennsylvania court action, we urged the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution, the rule of law and the integrity of elections.
“Now the state of Texas has asked the Supreme Court for permission to file a lawsuit against the states of Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania based on numerous voting irregularities in the presidential elections in those states.
“I urge the Supreme Court to consider Texas’s request, and to do so quickly. By doing so, the Court will help ensure the integrity of the presidential election and guide public officials everywhere in the proper discharge of their election-related duties.
“Our constitutional form of government is secured by the principle of ‘one person, one vote’ in a free and fair election. Every lawful vote must count, and every illegal vote must not.
“When voter fraud occurs in any state during a national presidential election, it affects citizens in every other state, including Indiana. We must all work together to protect our American democracy.â€
The relief that Texas seeks would undermine a foundational premise of our federalist system: the idea that the States are sovereign, free to govern themselves.
The Supreme Court will kick this ridiculous attempt to steal the election to the curb.
Curtis Hill is a pathetic attorney general who should have been removed last year.
Hill is indeed a pathetic attorney general, a fool, a groper and an inveterate publicity seeker. He is once again on the wrong side of the issue, as the Supremes just made clear.
