Gianforte supports Texas lawsuit to invalidate presidential election results – Bullock files brief asking Supreme Court to reject Texas lawsuit
Montana Congressman and Gov.-elect Greg Gianforte is one of 106 House Republicans Thursday who signed on to a “friend of the court” brief supporting the Texas lawsuit trying to invalidate presidential election results in four key states.
Last week, both he and fellow Republican U.S. Sen. Steve Daines, told MTN News that they weren’t yet acknowledging that Biden won the presidential election – although votes have been certified in all states, giving him a 306-232 electoral vote victory.
Officials in the four battleground states also have called the lawsuit a “seditious abuse of the judicial process,” “legally indefensible” and an “affront to principles of constitutional democracy.”

Bullock files brief asking Supreme Court to reject Texas lawsuit
“Our democracy is not a game. The decisions of elected officials have real consequences for the rule of law and the underpinnings of our democracy that are more important than currying favor with an outgoing president. It is up to all of us to defend the rule of law and our representative democracy. Without it, we are lost.”
“Texas chose not to include the State of Montana, where President Trump and other Republicans were successful in a mail ballot election conducted to reduce the impact of COVID—underscoring, of course, that this action is less about election integrity than it is about attempting to overturn the will of the electorate,” Governor Bullock wrote in his brief.
