AG: State did not join Texas election lawsuit

Thursday, April 1, 2021

Dear Editor,

I am writing as a point of needed clarification. Over the preceding months, there have been repeated stories and letters to editors with incorrect understanding. Nebraska did not join the Texas election lawsuit last December. Nebraska joined an amicus brief highlighting important separation-of-powers issues under Article II of the U.S. Constitution for the Court to consider. The Supreme Court voted 7-2 in choosing not to hear the matter, and the issue is closed.

Douglas J. Peterson

Nebraska Attorney General

Impressive tap-dancing skills for a state official. You should totally enter the Cornhusker Games.
