Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is encouraging voters to move on after the United States Supreme Court denied a challenge from Texas.
Schmidt signed onto the lawsuit with 18 other states.
“As I said Wednesday, Kansas filed a brief in this case, as we have in others, seeking an answer to an important and potentially recurring federal constitutional question involving the role of states in federal elections,” Schmidt said in a statement. “My office also received more than 15,000 calls and emails urging us to ask the Supreme Court to hear the Texas arguments. Today, the Supreme Court decided not to become involved in the 2020 election, and the Court’s decision means it is time to put this election behind us.”
Trump has alleged voter irregularities. However, Attorney General Wiliam Barr, who announced his registration as the Electoral College voted for Joe Biden, has said the Department of Justice found no widespread evidence of voter fraud.
Last week Schmidt came out in support of a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The U.S. Supreme Court Friday evening decided not to hear that case.
