The suit challenges the election results in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
According to Breitbart, it argued that the states made illegal changes to their voting rules. These changes were made through the courts instead of the states' legislatures, violating the election laws, the suit claimed.
Apart from the support expressed by 17 other states, the lawsuit was also backed by over 120 House Republicans.
