In the suit, he claims that pandemic-era changes to election procedures in those states violated federal law and asks the U.S. Supreme Court to block the states from voting in the Electoral College.

Its amazing how all this alleged voting fraud has only happened in states Trump lost. 
Apparently even the pandamic only affected those states procedures, truely a clever virus.

Interestingly, Kansas and Mississippi, which both signed this, also count mail-in ballots that arrive late.
The brief also argues that executive officials shouldn't be able to change voting rules. But Texas, the plaintiff in this case, the state they're supporting, did. The Texas governor used executive power to extend the early voting period.
In Florida, on the other hand, the Secretary of State unilaterally extended the voter registration deadline.
Utah mail in ballots just have to be post marked befor the election date and will be accepted for several days after Election Day.
I wonder what the difference is between those States and the four that are sued?

President Trump has discussed with advisers whether to grant pre-emptive pardons to his children, to his son-in-law and to his personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, and talked with Mr. Giuliani about pardoning him as recently as last week, according to two people briefed on the matter.

Re: U.S Election 2020
Allegation seems to be that Kushner got a change of foreign policy in order to get a bail-out from Qatar.
Quote:
Democrats probe Kushners’ billion-dollar rescue deal for family-owned skyscraper
Investigation examines presidential son-in-law’s role in influencing US policy on Qatar
Lawmakers from the Senate Finance and House Foreign Affairs committees on Wednesday sent a wide-ranging document request to Brookfield Asset Management, which counts the Qatar Investment Authority among its major financial backers and signed a long-term lease on the office tower in 2018.
The deal followed frenetic efforts by the Kushner family to raise enough money to meet a $1.2bn mortgage payment on the tower, and coincided with a series of sharp turns in US foreign policy towards Qatar.
At the time, Mr Kushner, the presidential son-in-law and a senior White House adviser, was meeting Middle Eastern leaders outside traditional diplomatic channels and assuming a far-reaching role in crafting US foreign policy. “While Brookfield has claimed that Qatari representatives had no involvement in the 666 Fifth Avenue transaction,” Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Joaquin Castro wrote, “we remain troubled that Qatari funds ended up in a billion-dollar rescue for a company directly tied to Jared Kushner”.

If Bill Clinton can pardon his Brother, then yes it’s possible. And it is also possible to pardon someone, even if they had not been charged with anything, just like President Gerald Ford did to President Nixon in 1974, when Nixon resigned from office and he had not yet been charged with a crime.

Re: U.S Election 2020
Again the pardon is absurd. If Biden pardons his son it should an impeachable offence but it won't be, it's just the way it works. Using the power of the office of President to get your family out of trouble.

It's ridiculous and just encourages wrong uns. Unfortunately, the US Constitution is treated a bit like a holy writing which cannot be improved upon.

Last time was 1992: the 27th amendment, which took 202 years from proposal to ratification.
