- Texas v. Pennsylvania, 592 U.S. ___ (2020), was a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the administration of the 2020 presidential election in certain states, in which Joe Biden defeated incumbent Donald Trump. Filed by Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton on December 8, 2020, under the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction, Texas v. Pennsylvania alleged that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin violated the United States Constitution by changing election procedures through non-legislative means – thus violating the Independent state legislature theory. The suit sought to temporarily withhold the certified vote count from these four states prior to the Electoral College vote on December 14. The suit was filed after about 90 lawsuits arising from disputes over the election results filed by Trump and the Republican Party had failed in numerous state and federal courts. The suit had been drafted by a team of lawyers with ties to the Trump presidential campaign. Paxton agreed to file the case after other state attorneys general declined to do so. The Solicitor General of Texas Kyle D. Hawkins objected to the suit and refused to let his name be added. Paxton hired Lawrence J. Joseph, who had helped draft the suit, as special counsel to assist with the suit. Within one day of Texas's filing, Trump, over 100 Republican Representatives, and 18 Republican state attorneys general filed motions to support the case. Trump referred to this case as "the big one" of the election-challenging lawsuits. Attorneys general for the defendant states, joined in briefs submitted by their counterparts from twenty other states, two territories, and the District of Columbia, urged the Court to refuse the case, with Pennsylvania's brief calling it a "seditious abuse of the judicial process". Legal experts argued that the case was not likely to be heard and not likely to succeed if it did get heard, and that it was thus a "Hail Mary" action. The Supreme Court issued orders on December 11, declining to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of the election held by another state.

- 德克薩斯訴賓夕法尼亞等（最高法院案卷号22O155）是德克萨斯州向美国最高法院提起的诉讼。其对2020年美国总统大选的结果，亦即預計祖·拜登擊敗特朗普，獲得足夠選舉人團票數一事提出异议。 德克萨斯州检察长肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）于2020年12月8日提起诉讼，指控乔治亚州，密歇根州，宾夕法尼亚州和威斯康星州在选举前更改选举程序，从而违反了美国宪法。该诉讼要求在2020年12月14日美国选举人投票之前，暂时扣起这四个州的核证投票数。这起诉讼於约50起选举结果争议相關诉讼失败后提起，當中不少涉及選舉舞弊的指控。而這宗诉讼並沒有有關選舉舞弊的指控，反認為被告各州透過非立法行為者（即司法和行政部门）修改選舉相關法律，因此涉嫌違反宪法。 在德州提出诉讼申请的24小時內，特朗普、一百多名共和党众议员、十八名共和党州检察长提出动议，以支持該宗申請。特朗普稱其為「大案」。被告州份的总检察长連同20個州份、兩個領地、哥伦比亚特区提交了幾份简报，敦促法院拒绝受理此案，称其为「煽动性地滥用司法程序」。多名法律專家表示其不太可能成功，猶如「万福玛利亚传球」。 最高法院于2020年12月11日頒佈命令，拒绝审理此案，理由是根据宪法第三条，德州没有资格对其他州的选举结果和程序提出异议。这很有可能是12月14日选举人投票前最后一次的重要法律行动。 (zh)
